The West's circular firing squad - or is it a daisy chain? : Comments

By Scott Heathwood, published 2/7/2026

Why does the conservative commentariat scrutinise populists more fiercely than the establishment that failed?

The Right doesn't have a clue. It has no killer instinct.

They have lost two TV programs: one ADH TV, and in the last week, The Other Side, hosted by Damien Coory, who said, when it was still going, that it's hard to produce a right wing program in a left wing country. Plenty of people watching, but not enough actually paying to keep it going.

There is nothing in the mainstream media remotely right; Spectator Australia is still going, but Quadrant, since the demise of Keith Windschuttle, is begging for donations. SkyNews. Subscription needed again.

The left gets its message out free, thanks to the ABC and MSM.

The party that used to be right of centre is now… well, WTF is it anymore? Talking about itself, and criticising what it should be allied with, One Nation, as it clings desperately to the sides of the toilet it's going down.

But, don't forget that the electorate seems to favour lying politicians promising a Socialist paradise, which might be the real problem.
