Abbott et al must join Bernardi

It's clear the LNP has been destroyed by the likes of Turnbull, Bishop and Pyne.

Abbott, Dutton and other conservatives should male the bold and courageous leap to join Bernardi to create something that will be relevant. Otherwise, face electoral carnage in the next election.

Face it, trump, brexit and PHON has redefined politics and leftist ideals are now dead in the water. The nationals should also look at their own voter base and get a taste for what they want. It ain't the likes of a Turnbull Liberal coalition.
