This, after at least 3 years of asking Liberal/Conservatives/ALP haters to post such a thread is my look at the opposition.
First no mistake here, I honestly without reserve think Abbott leads a Conservative party not the once Liberal party.
A party more like the Tea Party Republicans than any other.
But too that Liberalism will reemerge one day.
Such a reemergence will make my party,ALP work much harder to win office.
Mr Negativity, who could not know he indeed is Doctor No.
He would latch on to a bogon moth flying under the lights out side Parliament to blame Labor .
He has just been interviewed calling for the walking hair style Steven Smith to say sorry.
For as I did questioning the actions of a seeming biased fool, in charging a victim of sexual assault with minor matters at a very bad time.
Is this further evidence of the Mad Monks anti woman bent? on International Womans day?

While I have been free, very much so, with concerns about my party, the ALP.
You will find little or no navel gazing from the other side.
Had this mornings NSW news, about a National Party state member who resigned after admitting he filled in a false declaration.
He denied he was driving a speeding car, todays story's say no prosecution is to take place.
Imagine the out cry, here if he had been a Labor member, Conservatives hide their sins.
Waste, we hear it everyday, and famous anti Labor posters constantly, call for tighter welfare payments.
Our Tony Abbott, who loves the big new tax theme, is to tax business, so family's on combined incomes up to $150.000 can get welfare payments to have Children.
Like Republicans, Conservatives, no team lead by Abbott's team can be anything else, confrontation has become the norm.
Confront every thing, The founder of the Liberal party Sir Robert Menzies is worth a look, he had different views .
John Howard a fan and much more of Menzies styled himself on him.
History will be kind to both, each had the public, including ALP voters in their hands.
Menzies retired and his party soon lost office, Howard gave his seat and government away, no one beat him, he did that himself.
Who can ever think Tony Abbott, for that matter Gillard, on their popularity ratings, will ever be so highly regarded.
Howard remember but for work choices would still be PM.
And we would have had a carbon scheme not unlike Labors in place now.
Abbott or Howard no comparison.

The Libs purged all their moderate members over the last decade and are left with little else than hard right extremists at the helm.

Turnbull was recruited as a possible vote-puller after Brendan Nelson but was dumped by their right-wing and they lurched even further to the right with Abbott.

The Greens may nowadays be seen as being to the left of the ALP but seriously, who is there to the right of the LNP?

Turnbull will be a disaster.He will entrench the CO2 tax and further enslave the masses.

Abbott is a bit of an unknown quantity.While I don't trust any polly he may have some redeeming features.Time will tell.

This is very intriguing, Arjay;

I am well aware that the Libs are liberal in name only (and Abbott in particular), but to go as far as enslavement of the masses? I am keen to know how exactly is Turnbull going to achieve that, if you may kindly elaborate.

It would do this country no harm to truly look at this Conservative mob.
I am pleased, very much so, that some identify the lurch to the right of the ex Liberal party.
I am reminded and ask that we all consider this,John Howard,said *a win for Obarma*, in 2008,* would be a win for the terrorist group*
A faction of this party, from about 1958, has been ex middle European with right wing views.
Branch stacking and pushing true Liberals out.
I truly fear the attachment to American Republicanism.
Yes fear, and we all should, no less than the 1950,s concerns about Labors some times perceived some times true links to another anti Democratic, now dead truth smothering movement.
Remember this, America driven by republicans has so very many street people and so many die just because they have no health care.
Abbott intends to cut much that we need.
Liberalism will one day rise again but not without many leaving the party they taint.
Non core promise will be numbered in the tens, they have to be,after this bloke wins.
While cutting the needys benefits he intents to help the middle income earners, by? a big new tax.
