    And they are quite right in blaming Turnbull.

    Angry MPs blame Malcolm Turnbull for Wentworth loss


    Malcolm Turnbull has come under fire from senior Coalition figures including Scott Morrison and the Liberal Party’s national president for failing to issue a public endorsement for candidate Dave Sharma in the final days of the disastrous Wentworth by-election campaign.
    The future of the Morrison government hangs in the balance following a 19.09 per cent swing against the Liberals in Mr Turnbull’s former Sydney harbourside seat, the largest federal swing since the 1992 by-election for Bob Hawke’s former seat of Wills.
    A cloud of uncertainty will hang over parliament as it resumes today, with the opposition ramping up pressure for an early election and eager to test the Coalition’s numbers in the House of Representatives in the weeks ahead if Wentworth is lost, reducing the government to minority status.
