zurich, you can come up with any number of reason for Abbott being dumped but there is one key reason.

It all comes down to LNP trailing consistently in 170 polls over 19 months, why that was the case could be put down to many thing not any one or two things.

Voters had turned off Abbott, there was little hope he could regain their support and as such losing the next election was a very real possibility.
