Following the dumping on Sussan Ley MP Liberal Leader of the Opposition, we see Angus Taylor MP in place in a nice suit and tie and a woman standing next to him as a deputy. What else though do the Liberal party have to offer at a federal level?

Personally I don't know. I'm not sure. A lot of guff about Australian values and immigration, but not much more at this stage. Meanwhile the One Nation vote and support for Pauline Hanson is on the rise and moderates are going to Labor and Anthony Albanese.

Pauline Hanson has come out strongly saying Angus Taylor is nothing more than the same dead horse. In some ways I tend to agree. Lots of slogans and not a lot of policy or substance.

Angus Taylor has also selected all of his favourites in terms of cabinet appointments. This may also be a problem. Regardless of what I might think, do you think the Liberal Party can survive? Is it too late for them? Can they win the next federal election? What do you think they need to do to improve in the polls and increase their vote - particularly with a by election coming up?

Winning the next election will be the Liberals Melbourne Cup.

Winning next election?
Possible — but requires:
1. Clear economic narrative
2. Unified leadership
3. Winning back suburban mortgage voters
4. Avoiding permanent urban collapse. ( good luck on that one).

Voters will return from ON as they always do. The cracks are appearing in PH’s pearch when she makes idiotic gaffs in her usual manner; here’s the lates in her attempt to broaden her base; praising good Muslims…and how does anybody achieve this impossible task of identifying good Muslims from radical Islamists, when all Muslims are Islamists.

She’s just pulled the plug out of her reservoir of panicking supporters.

Liberals will do well to keep quiet on the issue of good and bad Muslims, we’re not stupid out here in never land.
On immigration, Muslims are the major problem left right and centre!

You will have to wait for an election to get answers. There are not enough people here to speak for over 18 million voters.

If Taylor keeps talking, as he has started to do on immigration, rather than ‘listening’ (to gawd knows whom) like Lazy Sussan, the Liberals could very well regain votes they have lost that they would never have retrieved under LS, probably the worst opposition leader ever.

Taylor's Deputy Hume is no shrinking violent, and has been telling some home truths about the party recently. The shadow cabinet is OK. But, the wets - about one third of the party if the leadership vote is anything to go by - are still there. They haven't risked their lucrative careers to switch to their true place, Green Labor. They want to hang onto their well paid jobs and perks, and staying in opposition still provides them with a good job, even if they don't like the only party they could be elected to. Think Malcolm Turnbull as the stand out example of that disloyalty to party and voters.

But, the well-past-due-date Albanese, might start packing the proverbials and steal some of the Liberals’ policies over the next couple of years. Most Australians would be happy with that.

Polls, the media, dooming the Liberals and calling One Nation the new Opposition is all very well; but a lot can happen between now and 7 August 2027(earliest) or 20 May 2028.

I think that answer to your questions has to be, ‘don't know’.

The ISIS brides are part of the cohort that Taylor says must have the door closed to them, while Albanese just says that they they 'are not helping them'.

However, immigrant minister Burke's "good friend", Dr. Jemal Rifi, local GP, is currently in Syria trying to get the women and children - including 3 teenagers - back to Australia.

Rifi is the bloke Burke had a secret chat with after he turfed Home Affairs officials out of a meeting.
