Yip, thats my thinking too. Posting is bloody hard these days, but doesnt mean there arent equivalent alternatives that dont involve a polling booth. For example, we only have 2 supermarket chains, get them both on board to accept ballot forms in a special "post box".

Don’t forget Willis. She’s in same boat as the Bish tho, too much centrist and they’d be worried about bleeding more to Seymour. Bring back Collins I reckon 😂

yeah bro, I'd put me some moola on that :-)
having said that, I'm personally hoping they stick with him as having him head up things next election is probably only going to bolster Labours chances!

sigh.. i keep saying it but its true. you cant make this shit up...

8 year old may be being generous to be fair, but I think that's what appeals to my juvenile sense of humour. Also I am pretty convinced this must be all a weird dream and I will wake up soon, as no way could the USA be led by someone like Humpty Trumpty... right?!?

Amen brother!

I know right! Frustrating how governments love to take credit for good stuff someone else did and blame "last lot" for the bad. TBF both sides do this, but I reckon you either got to own it all or none of it... but that would be too close to being honest & having integrity for most politicians!

Yup. I have no doubt your innate doubts are bang on. In fact I have very strong feeling the strategy has always been to (a) get the fugly stuff out and done in the first 18-24 months, (b) hope global economy sorts itself out and we benefit, and (c) coast into the election claiming credit

It’s subtle only in that mainstream voters don’t see it happening, which is the (evil) genius of it. Coup occurs and no one sees it until it’s done.

I’m not on the Atlas wagon but get it. I reckon it’s a neo-liberal takeover by the elite with goal to hold power by suppressing dissent from masses
