Can Angus Taylor rekindle the romance? : Comments

By Graham Young, published 29/6/2026

Conservatives are in the middle of a marriage breakdown. Half of Coalition voters have left.

I don't think that Taylor or anyone else available can resuscitate the Liberal Party as long as they keep rubbishing One Nation, and realise that they can only gain government with the support of One Nation, or in coalition with One Nation.

They need to clean out the wets, starting by disendorsing, before the next election, the likes of Tim Wilson and Andrew Hastie. They are the loud mouths, both insulting Pauline Hanson at every opportunity. But there are lots more white ants to get rid of before they can be considered as a conservative alternative to ALP Socialism.

If they don't smarten up, the horrible, country-wrecking ALP will get another term. That's who they have to fight - not One Nation.

Just in. The ALP is top of the poll again, not One Nation. Will that help Taylor see who his real enemies are? Probably not.

How does any romance get rekindled, or for that matter kindled? That's the key. The classic approach is repetition. "I love you", "I love you", ad infinitum, together with "why I love you". Again and again. Every conservative voter should be able to recite why they love conservatism, at the very least because they have heard it repeatedly from the lips of conservative leaders. But they haven't. That's the problem. Conservative leadership must repeat, again and again, what it is they stand for. Could I say I know what that is? Sadly I cannot. I know what makes me a conservative but I haven't heard it from those leaders. Am I unusual? I doubt it. So let's hear it from Angus and the rest of them! Again and again. Please make me love you. I'm ready and willing.

"It's my first LNP event ever" When you were a candidate for the Liberal Party, and Vice President and Campaign Chairman of the Queensland Liberal Party, didn't you go to any events. Gee, no wonder they lost. Technicality LNP is not LP, and I assume that's one more event than the number of Labor or Greens events you've ever attended.

"slag-off the new partner. Taylor didn't make that mistake" Graham, did he wave around of piece of paper saying; "I have secured peace in our times" A note signed by Herr Hanson and himself. Does the agreement include surrendering Cow Cocky Land to the One Nation Socialist Workers Party.

No one in the Noalition parties is going to surrender their 240K+ cushy job to some wombo Neo-Nazi, cause they are too sh!t scared to call em' for what they are, bigoted racists.

Fungus and Albo should shut up about One Nation, they will hang themselves, stop trying to do it for them.

The Liberal's Mellisa McIntosh has called for the renaming of the party, saying it's “behind the times”, but it should remain true to its “core values”.

Aah …..?

They have plenty of decent policies, she reckons, but the “ Liberal branding could potentially be holding them back”.

Aah ….?

And, the Liberals have to “hit the mark with women”. Insulting women like that is bound to hit something.

Gawd help them.

Oh yes, the Liberal Party needs a new name says some Ditzy Chick, the word Liberal just wont cut it with the rednecks and knuckle draggers who they hope to attract back from the One Nation garbage pile. How about the Wacky Crapy Party with a new voter appealing policy of cockroaches in your coffee.

I see the Raving Redhead opened her mouth once and stuck her size 12 boot in it, and the party vote dropped 5 points! Albo, Fungus, you don't have to do anything to win back support, just let the old tart open her mouth and she'll do it for you! The lads should be running around parliament house yelling out; "Pauline speak, the voters want to hear your voice!"

There is no future for anyone plundering each others support base. Labor and Greens 46%, compared to Liberals and ON 46%: There is more than a hint in that statistic for the intelligent!

Hi DD,

Its not as simple as just adding two numbers together and that's the answer. If every electorate voted the same with preferences flowing the same way all the time then, it would be that simple, its not. One Nation for example can expect a strong vote in rural electorates held by the Nations, as they might pick up some National party seats, the same can't be said for city electorates held by Labor. The Liberals have a problem in the city seats they hold, less with One Nation and more with Teal type independents, who have already shown how they can win seats from the Liberals in well heeled seats that are economically conservative, but socially progressive. The Noaliton partners kicking each other in the guts for the past year is not real helpful either.

I know how you hate the Greens, but having done scrutineering for the Greens in the past,about 15% of Green votes flow to the Liberals. Historical fact; 'Pig Iron' Bob the ultra conservative commie hating fascists won the 1961 election by one seat thanks to a few Communist Party preferences flowing his way in that one seat.

Based on the Liberal Party Constitution they aren't allowed to favour ethnic identity- this is the essential problem with the Liberal Party. Forcing all ethnic identities to become one is racism. And people are starting to realise it. The Liberal Party needs to go back to first principles and understand why they believe what they believe. The world is full of paradoxes, part of politics is a willingness to confront these existential challenges.

The sad thing is the business ideology Capitalist's within the Liberal Party think they can eternally play bait and switch with the Traditionalist's. Capitalism is a useful tool, but it's a means not an ends.

Sometimes the Capitalist's have even let the Traditionalist's be the leader, knowing that they have the numbers.

The Traditionalist's have been very patient with the betrayal. They are a bit slow, still comatose but some are waking up.

Hi Kudos Kid,

What is this "Traditionalist" nonsense YOU have conjured up?

Its a term to soft soap your brand of National Socialism. Is it not?

I don't know about Paul1405- I aren't promoting the killing of Jews, or actually killing Jews, as the Muslim mates of the Woke Marxist's are doing. I just want to be left alone with my culture- not sure about those of Woke Marxist persuasion. If someone tries to force me to abandon my ethnic identity I'm going to fight it- after all they are trying to fight me.

Hi Kudos Kid,

What is your ethnic identity, and how do YOU express it? If it's not physical, is it something YOU have to exercise daily for otherwise you may lose it? Does it exclude YOU from association with other ethnic groups, for fear of becoming tainted in some way? We all have our physical appearance, which gives us an ethnic identity, but sometimes its misleading to assume a person is something when they are actually something else.

I asked my doctor what part of China he came from, as I plan to visit there shortly. He replied (in English); "I'm not Chinese, I'm Korean." For us Anglo-Celtic meat pies, they all look the same.

BTW, He's an excellent GP, and what an asset he is, thanks to our skilled migration program. Come to think of it, I've never actually had an Aussie GP, do YOU find that odd?
