Turnbull will keep Shorten out of the PM's chair, but I was surprised to see so many anti-Turnbull letters from Lib party supporters in the Australian.
I wouldn't be so sure about that. The so-called "anti-Turnbull" thing started when there was talk about him challenging PM Abbott the first time (earlier this year?). Masses of "rusted-on" Liberal voters threatened to abandon the Liberals if Turnbull won and became the "illegitimate" PM. It was in all the Blogs and newspapers, etc.
NOTHING has changed as far as we "rusted on" Liberals are concerned now that Turnbull has become the "illegitimate" Prime Minister. He will NEVER win in his own right. Seriously.
We all plan to either not vote (and pay the $20 fine), go along and get our name marked off the Rolls and submit an informal vote (blank ballot paper or write rude words on it) or vote for an Independent or some other Conservative candidate. NEVER will we vote Greens or Labor.
If it means that Billy Shortarse gets a go at playing PM, sobeit. Australia is already stuffed.
Should Turnbull actually become a "legitimate" PM through the Coalition winning the next Election (March 2016, I hear), we would have already voted in a pseudo Leftard. IF Turnbull loses, he will take his marbles and retire to Point Piper (minus the PM pension and extras).
Besides, I am so sick of it all, that I don't really care any more. I am OK, Jack!
