By Everald Compton, published 28/11/2018

For more than half its life, since Fraser seized power, the Liberal Party has been dying.

It might not happen that way exactly, but the general thrust of it is pretty close to the mark.

Surely the current attitude of most Australians toward existing party beliefs is one of a need to stay centralist in political outlook and belief.

Excessive commitment to either the right or left is now out of date.
Electors have been there, done that.

Now they appear to be choosing an option which abandons the old dogmatic trends of opposed philosophies.

The two/three major party scheme may be headed for extinction.

Let's create the 'Independents' Party.'

Tying the future to the past is fraught.

There was nothing “illegal” about the removal of Whitlam. The reserve power was used. The electorate approved with a huge Liberal vote at the ensuing election. But yes. Fraser was a dick. Howard was OK until he, too, turned into a dick and lost his own seat because of it. He was also the to blame for the initial nonsense about unreliable energy and subsidies for it. And we all know what the king dick, Turnbull did, moving the party to the Left. All of these galahs trashed the Liberal brand in their own way. There was a brief chance with Abbott, but all the dicks in the party knocked him in the head. There is nothing “illegitimate” about Morrison, but he is also a dick who looks to be the one to finish off the Liberals for good.

I have never agreed with anything Compton has written in the past, but he is right this time on the pending demise of the Liberal party.

However, Compton is like all those other people who fail to recognise that the reason for the failure of the Liberal party is the steady move to the left that has occurred in the majority of MPs - those better suited to the Labor party - to keep it simple, they are the ones who voted for Morrison and not Dutton; the ones interested only in clinging on to their seats and to hell with principals. The ones who have left Australia with two Labor parties.

After Compton misreads the real problems with the Liberals, his article descends into the bulldust he usually churns out. His scrying his utter nonsense. The Liberals must go and they must be replaced by be genuine conservative party.

Everald doesn't like the Liberal Party, so what, he is entitled to his opinion. Who says political parties have to live for ever? They form, they change and they keep changing. Wasting your time with vitriol Everald accomplishes nothing. Also never listen to your enemies when you are seeking help, that is the first rule. Perhaps now the Conservatives will get their chance?
When Labour go into debt and balls everything up and the big clean up is needed I am sure we will have another blurt about how the Labour Party is dead and buried, again!
