Does the Liberal Party have a future?

The Liberal Party of today is not the party that I
remember my parents, family, friends, and relatives
voted for and supported decades ago.

Today, the Liberal Party needs a Coalition to stay
in power. It is even soliciting support from One
Nation and the cross-benchers.

What has happened that the Party cannot survive in
its own right?

In its hey day the Party was supported by many
ethnic communities. Support today seems to be
dwindling.

Does anybody have the answers as to what's happening
and what the solutions are in solving the problems
of this once great political entity?

Much of what I said before the election remains true in my view Foxy'
As Liberalism wrestles with its various factions Labor will face a reality
The world is moving right, and Labor will continue to take the ground Liberals vacate
Every day it seems, at least sitting days, another bomb goes of in that party
Women are now front and center, and it is a problem they must fix
Still think a split is a possibility if not soon after the next election
Will watch with interest and hope but not bank on it, to see some Liberals with thoughts about what is needed

certainly doing much better under Morrison than Turnbull, Bishop, Banks and Pynne. They still lack the courage of convictions when wasting over a billion a year on the marxist abc broadcasters. Also need to rip up the fraudulent Paris agreement and start putting Aussies ahead of deceitful UN agenda's. Hopefully they will never cave to quotas and become as incompetent as the left leaning Labour party or are always in bed with Australia's biggest extremist (the Greens). Certainly Kristina Keneally looks hopelessly out of her depths in her portfolia. Seems like a very bad idea to have incompetent women filling quotas. Dutton is doing a good job along with Josh and Mattias.

Dear Belly and runner,

I used to think of the Liberal Party as a
"broad church" but is it really following the
general global trend towards the far right?

I'm not sure about the purpose of the Liberal
Party anymore, and what it stand for.

If the "broad church" Liberals go along with
this tilt to a conservative tilt - they will
find themselves in a very narrow Liberal
Party indeed - one that looks more like
One Nation with slightly more professional
marketing.

Is that really what they want to be?

What I found rather disturbing was that in
October last year the Australian Senate narrowly
voted down a motion condemning "anti-white
racism", despite government senators voting FOR
the controversial statement echoing alt-right
rhetoric.

The Senate voted 31 to 28 to reject a motion put
by Pauline Hanson which acknowledged the -

"deplorable rise of anti-white racism
and attacks on Western Civilisation," and Ït's
OK to be white."

HI Foxy

this tilt to a conservative tilt - they will
find themselves in a very narrow Liberal
Party indeed - one that looks more like

marketing.

Certainly that is what I want although the truth is that Labour has drifted much to the left as shown by its policies at the last election. Once they were a partry that allowed conscience votes but now have become more totalitarian (yes I am serious). Again I consider the Greens far more extremist than One Nation or Fraser Anning. Labour is looking more and more like the Democrats in America who do nothing but play race politics and try to silence anyone who disagrees with them. The left certainly have the majority of media on their side. Thank God for skynews.

The one thing for sure is that it is difficult to predict people's voting intentions. One could say that people are voting more conservative but then you look at the way they voted for the Andrews Government. Few were able to predict Morrison's victory. I hope the Liberals toss out the regressives and become more conservative.
