Conservative Professor David Flint has advised conservative voters to give their first preference to One Nation.

Despite the new leadership, the Liberal Party has been “tainted by a Labor-lite philosophy. There has been a “systematic dismissal of the rank-and-file membership by a class of apparatchiks who control the party machine”. These people are similar to the professional functionaries of the Soviet Communist Party who viewed themselves as the “masters, not the servants, of the people”. They disdain the grass roots of the party, and treat them as “a liability to be managed”.

Flint reminds us that the party's founder, Sir Robert Menzies, was so horrified with the party's drift away from its foundational beliefs, he voted for the DLP in his retirement.

If voters follow that advice, the Liberal Party could very well be kaput after the next election.

When all else fails wheel out the "communist bogy" and here we have ttbn right on cue making reference to another irrelevant old fart Flint(stone) who invokes the unseen red scare within the Liberal party. I freely admit I am a supporter of the progressive side of politics, but really its bad enough when the unhinged on the forum claim the Labor party are all communists, but saying the Liberal party is likewise, is absurd nonsense that defies reality.

If all you have is The Lovely Pauline and Barnyard Joy to offer the electorate, I'd be invoking the ghost of 'Pig Iron' Bob as well. ttbn wake up, the majority of voters have never heard of 'Pig Iron' Bob or the DLP, and are not the least bit interested in your 1950's style politics.

It appears that we will be able to predict the recovery or ruin of the Liberal Party sooner than later.

Taylor is stuttering that he wasn't aware of the Ley immigration policy in a way that suggests he is not uncomfortable with it.

The shadow immigration minister, Scarr, says he doesn't agree with the plan to close the door - another wet in the one of the most important portfolios.

We won't know the fate of the Liberal Party until the voters decided at the next election, but I would now guess that there is a 60:40 chance that the Liberal Party, like the Conservatives in the UK, will be replaced as the official opposition.

'Close the door' should read close the door on certain countries and regions of the world.

The big thing that the Liberals should stop doing is taking notice of their enemies, as in leftist mouthpieces in the lamestream media shouting that he must not embrace any “Trumpist” policies. A bit stupid, when Trump has boosted the US economy and everything else, while Albanese has driven the Australian economy and everything else into the ground.

While we might not like Trump's personality, at least he has one, and he is a boon for Americans, while Albanese is a lead weight around our necks.

The lamestream media and the Australian Marxists, including at least a third of Liberal politicians, want Taylor to be more like Albanese than Trump.

Taylor has made his first big mistake by saying that proposed immigration bans are not about race or religion. Of course they bloody are! We should be strongly discriminating in our immigration policy for the sake of our values - and our lives. You don't have to be a Jew to be hated by too many of the immigrants the uniparty has been colonising us with for years.

There are 18,000 of these creatures on ASIO'S watch list already!

While our gutless political class is s..t frightened of a minority voters of the wrong fit for Australia (anything for votes from anyone, good or bad), Trump has already banned people from 75 regions of the world.

Until Taylor can do without his trainer wheels, Trump is the one he should be emulating.

Opposition Leader, Angus Taylor has declared fossil fuels will “absolutely” form part of the Coalition’s energy mix.
