Should Australia's Liberal Party be more conservative? : Comments

By Chris Lewis, published 14/7/2020

However, for the most part, the best way conservatives can contribute to influence the mainstream political parties is to keep utilising public forums to inform the public of its ideas.

The article ignores that (especially in NSW) branch stacking and other skulduggery has allowed a takeover of the Liberal Party by the so-called moderate faction. Additionally, the Liberal party in SA has been wringing wet for decades. All his has led to the party being dominated by the liberal left (moderate) faction since the demise of Abbott.

Eventually bad policies that hurt voters in the hip pocket (e.g. the thrashing of of electricity industry, rising debts due to Covid19 panics, expensive submarines and frigates) will come home to roost and voters will see sense.

Although this website does not refer to Australia it does provide an interesting perspective on how Western countries (particularly the Anglo-sphere) got to where they are, and what if anything can be done about it.

Australia’s Liberal party should be more conservative and I am confident that there are plenty of conservatives waiting for the Liberal party to be, once again, worth supporting and not be just a mob of Labor lite MPs masquerading as Liberal Party MPs.

I do not consider that the Liberal party will recover from the most unjustified back-stabbing of outstanding Tony Abbott by disgraceful Turnbull, Bishop, Pyne and others.

I voted for the Liberal party all my very long life, except for when Turnbull was unjustifiably PM. I did vote for Morrison at the last election as he was the least worst available, whether I will vote Liberal party again, who knows. They are going to have to show they are worth voting for. Losing very good Matthias Corman is very bad for us conservatives.

We badly need a Donald Trump to make Australia and the Liberal party, great again.

Most media have and are very seriously damaging our good futures, particularly when they campaigned very hard against John Howard and Tony Abbott and just look at the huge mess most media have got us into. The Coalition needs to de-fund the ABC and use that $1billion plus - the ABC very unjustifiably gets - for useful health and education needs plus sell off the very valuable land and buildings held by the ABC and use the large proceeds to help reduce the huge debts the ABC has helped get us into with their very pro Labor and Greens promotions and very anti-Coalition activities. As many people will be very pleased to have the ABC gone as those that will be unhappy to not have it as their tax-payer funded media arm. PeterC

I'm not sure that Australia's Liberal Party should
be more conservative but it should be more inclusive.
It should have greater ethnic representation. It should
also enunciate the values that defines the party and
apply these values to issues that concern wider groups
in the community.

"As many people will be very pleased to have the ABC gone as those that will be unhappy to not have it as their tax-payer funded media arm".

Who are they PeterC, the 176 who voted for the pathetic Australia Federation Party in the Eden-Monaro by-election. Certainly not the other 94,478 voters, many of whom relied on the excellent coverage by the ABC during the recent bushfires to give then guidance as the disaster unfolded upon them. I can see why in a field of 14 candidates the AFP bloke ran dead last in that election.

I reckon we should sell our politicians to China.

Probably be able to get a cool $50 for the lot of them.
