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.
