Well, now we have the Liberals reverting back to type, faced with irrelevance. So what do they have to offer?
Cuts in migration. Vague promises about lowering the cost of electricity. Not much else. Hardly something to build a platform on.

To me, the solution is simple. Leave the marriage of convenience with the Nats. Let the far right join Hanson. Allign with the Teals.
The Nats will become irrelevant, and the far right will find their natural home. The choice then becomes a 3 party race.

You know what. Hamas is a really horrible terrorist group. If anything is going to derail the peace talks, it's them. They cannot be allowed to continue operating in Gaza and beyond. This is not to distract from all the terrible things Israel have done.

So, the Liberal party is losing support to One Nation. Apparently, the Libs are not right wing enough. Moving to the sensible centre (where most elections are won) has upset the racist base. How not surprising.

Once again, America has experienced political violence, resulting in the death of an influential person. This is all too common and inevitable in a society that prioritises guns over public safety. Unfortunately, the situation will not change until vested interests are taken out of the equation.
