"the right of the Libs will be blamed by the centre small l mob for not winning - they will decide that the party has swung too far to the right the right will say - look how well we did - we won loads of seat (ignoring that the swing to the libs was minute)"
Same was said last election.
Turnbull one of our most center thinkers was going backwards in the polls.
With Abbott the party performance improved and Labor lost seventeen seats at the poll.
You are IMO well off the mark ... discussions after election losses are normal for any party and don't mean what you have decided to pretend it does.
