Another way to look at it:
Say you are *guaranteed* to lose the next election. There's nothing you can do about it. Nothing.
Do you a) fuck about, squabbling, so everyone hates you for years to come or b) go down with a solid legacy of improving some stuff and looking like a decent party?

I'd love a PM / CX who said: "sure, vote us out next time, we don't care about polling, but in the meantime we are going to fix this."

At some point you have to realise that *everybody* hates you, stop worrying about the polls, and do the best / right thing. Weirdly, people might then start to like you.

As much as Musk is a dangerous madman, Rogan is equally to blame for zero challenge, zero push back on what is clearly a bullshit comment. How hard is it to just go - sorry, evidence for that WILD claim? It's a 3 hour podcast so it's not like he hasn't got time to dig a little.
