Maybe with Abbott and the other (so called) nutters of the hard right of the party playing their silly games it may be an opportune time to hand the baton to Shorten and labor for a couple of terms (now that will be interesting) so the Liberal party can properly determine what the party stands for. After all........it's the long term that counts.
Think about........their is some excellent talent coming through in the liberal party .
As a long term Liberal party supporter........to me Abbott is nothing more than a back bencher at best........and a fool at worst IMHO.
