@logco; we were touring the UK immediately prior to the election of David Cameron's government - he was relatively charismatic, fresh-faced, believable, came across as sincere and unlike almost most Tories appeared to be a humanitarian at heart. Brits bought what was on offer!
Cameron's decision to oppose Brexit and to relinquish control of the Tories to Boris Johnson shredded British Politics - the gravy train of British PMs fooled no-one as the UK slid down the slippery pole into the mess it now finds itself in: without QEII, tax havens galore for the oh-so-wealthy, impoverished workers, no influence in Europe, having earlier severed trade relationships with countries including Australia, unable to control 'boat arrivals', increasingly isolated in world affairs, subservient to the USA, NHS knee-capped, at risk from Putin's increasingly aggressive regime, broke, ...
Re Australia, it's long overdue that the LNP provided a viable alternative to the Labor Govt there - one which has been heavily propped up by the Feds.
In NSW the Minns Govt appears to be more 'conservative' than Perrottet's government was but as yet there's no sign that the Coalition has sorted out its internal mess so Minns will continue due to a poor and emphatically rejected alternative.
Victoria's next election isn't due until November 2026, by which time much of the core public infrastructure created courtesy of Daniel Andrews's 'Big Build' be in use including new hospitals, the Metro extensions, the Westgate Tunnel, Northeast Link and the removal of 120 level crossings. What's still missing in Victoria is a viable alternative - they're still a rabble, still without any vision or policies and still the puppets of loathed Murdoch Mouthpieces.
The ACT, South Australia and West Australia will be shoe-ins for Labor while voters should turf Labor out of the NT and the Libs continue to struggle in Tasmania.
So what about
Free Enterprise Albanese vs
Marxist Nuclear Dutton - neither have anything approaching charisma, Dutton's echoing Abbott's destructive negativity while Albanese appears to be alienating support from within the parliamentary party. At this point of the election cycle Labor would lose its majority and be forced to rely on crossbench support whereas Dutton's almost all male drongos are still facing electoral oblivion and the prospect that the Nats will become the senior partner for the Coalition.
