The ongoing train wreck that is the Liberal Government of Australia

The last week has seen the current Australian Liberal Government involved in an ongoing high-octane slow motion train wreck.

Firstly there was a challenge to the sitting Prime Minister - see my post https://steemit.com/teamaustralia/@drwom/today-is-the-first-day-in-ages-i-haven-t-even-checked-coinmarketcap

And ever since that first attempt the ruling Liberal Party is basically tearing itself apart, and gorging itself on the results.

Malcolm Turnbull was Prime Minister last week. Scott Morrison is Prime Minister this week. He is pretending it was all to get a new generation into power, but all the same people are sitting around the cabinet table, just doing different jobs. Badly.

It's a bit like musical chairs, where Malcolm lost and had to go.

But here's the thing. Now one, not a single Liberal, not even Scott Morrison himself, can convincingly tell us why this shit show had to happen.

Truth be told, I'm not sad. These guys were always bad: climate change deniers; trying to give tens of billions to corporations through tax cuts; cutting funds to schools, hospitals, the National Disability Insurance Scheme; you name it. These guys are rotten.

So good riddance. But the problem it that the high-octane part of the show is over, now we have the slow motion train wreck coming to us frame-by-frame, and we just have to wait until (probably) May next year for an election until we can throw the idiots out in a general election.

May all beings be happy.

No doubt the Labor party will be in power come next election. However you can rest assured a year or two in some 'polls' will show declining support for the PM and then some other minister will challenge for the leadership and eventually take over as PM (to which voters had no intention of happening).

Australian politics is just so predictable. I am so disappointed in Turbull, he was already made well before he came into politics, in theory he should have been immune to criticism and pushed forward with what he believed in, people want a leader and a leader isn't someone that accepts to be undermined and disrespected by his subordinates.

Haha - I agree about Turnbull, and that’s a pretty sharp insight. He really shouldn’t have cared - but he did.

I think you’re wrong about the Labor Party though. They changed their rules so to change a leader they need to have the whole of their grassroots membership vote, as well as the Parliamentary members. So it would be time consuming (months) and not worth the drama. For example, Bill Shorten is still leader after 5 years (and three Liberal PMs)

Interesting I didn't know they changed that.
