Australian politics - effective opposition

My book is boring. Let's talk politics.

For an effective opposition government, the liberals need a leader with the X factor. Dutton didn't have it, Ley doesn't have it. It needs to be someone Australians will think, yes I'd be proud to have them as my prime minister.

Party politics and policies no longer have the loyalties of the past. There's a big swing vote depending on the X factor of the leader.

Littleproud isn't bad as leader of the nationals. Bridget McKenzie isn't bad but both are down the coalition ladder as a subparty and I don't think either of them have the full X factor either.

Who do you think has the X factor to lead the opposition?

  • Nobody right now. Hate the opposition with a passion and hope they stay that way for a few years yet.

    I’m 73 and hope to die while Labor is still in power.
  • Oz politics. Bring the popcorn. They don't call it the "Coup Capital of the Developed World" for nothing.
  • Just drop by in time for the next Federal election: you might even score a sausage.
