If people love politics ...another excellent column. If people love politics and don't read you then they are mugs.<br /><br />My thinking is People might vote ALP in Wentworth as a one-off as a protest against Lib in fighting.<br /><br />Again if the electorate are not giant hypocrites then a landslide win to the ALP is on the cards in the next electionNot Trampishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12738633092867411422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052593945054595675.post-33642890982212862452018-08-26T20:07:23.817+10:002018-08-26T20:07:23.817+10:00Those weak margins were partly down to Turnbull...Those weak margins were partly down to Turnbull's acrimonious dislodging of Peter King as local member (King then ran against Turnbull as an independent in 2004). But looking through the history it has quite often been inside 60-40. <br /><br />I think it comes down to preselection - if they pick a good candidate they should retain it but if the candidate choice is contentious they could drop it to an independent. The danger is less than if Dutton had been PM.

Then it is possible for it to be delayed to allow all this to shake itself out. My opinion, which is worth a quarter of diddly squat is that all this isn't over just yet with the make up of cabinet the next bigly, yuge thing.Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08664699802718952449noreply@blogger.com
