is the level of ignorance dispayed by the anti-government supports real or feigned?
if it is real, i suggest that some reading on the functioning of parliament is order. if nobody can command a majority in their own right but needs the support of others to govern, then it is clear they will have to compromise on their policies. abbott would have had to do the same - in fact, the reason he did not get support is becasue he would not back down from some of his policies
the accuse the PM of lying or backflipping or whatever other slogan sounds good merely points to the complete ignorance of the person who is using the term
