I've just watched a debate between Christopher Pyne and Tony Bourke on Late Line.

Oh my, oh my!

Christopher Pyne, the manager of Opposition Business in the House, could ONLY whine, whine and whine (using all the expected whinging slogans). He was an embarrassment.

Has anyone seen his "performances" in the House of Reps? He comes across as a whining, immature complainer with his CONSTANT phony points of order in order to disrupt answers; constantly talking over the Speaker of the House.

He acts like a stereotypical drama queen on the floor of the House, imho.

I think he'll be a terrible liability for the Liberal Party during the upcoming election campaign.

The Liberal Party is is deep trouble. Three renowned "drama queens", Abbott, Pyne and Hockey, will take leading roles for the Liberals in the campaign ....... with all the mud slinging, whinging and drama queen antics they can muster.

And guess what?

By the end of the campaign it'll be shown to backfire badly against them. Aussies HATE politicians who are drama queens and whiners.

It's a shame we have 3 such immature and aggressive men at the forefront of the Liberal Party. We need a STRONG and MATURE opposition, but what have we currently got? A bunch of drama queens. Drama queens who during the campaign will revel in personal attacks, constant whining and rhetoric, rhetoric and more rhetoric. It'll backfire badly. It's NOT what Australia needs! It will cost the Liberal Party much needed votes.

“ Aussies HATE politicians who are drama queens and whiners”

Then, how on earth did the Greens get ANY candidates get elected?

Drama-queenship seems to be a prerequisite for Green candidates.

I think I would agree, Christopher Pyne does not come across as a particularly strong character but it seems to that whilst you might view him as a "weak link"

the mob he opposes are a bunch of factiona run ringo's, who only form a chain for the benefit of public appearance and election

on display, they present as the perfect set of sychophants,

behind closed doors they are a bunch of back-stabbing egos and devils-deal makers.

I know which group has performed better in government and I suppose the strength of the Liberal team means they can carry the odd weak link or two...

Conversely, the socialists cannot hang together long enough to make a daisy chain

And guess what?
benq,
ALP pollies have been doing the same for decades. Why this Lib is more prominent is because he's is one the few who are doing this.

Maybe Mr Pyne is a weak link however the whole Labour chain is broken. Its makes you wonder who will return the knife in the back favour to Ms Gillard.

Benq, I can't see that Pyney is any weaker than lots of others.

I actually thought he did quite well on Q&A last week.
