MALCOLM Turnbull’s nightmare start to his make-or-break year is about to get a whole lot worse.
The Prime Minister now faces a split in the Liberal Party as early as this week.
The high-profile Senator Cory Bernardi is almost certain to quit the Liberals and start his own conservative party.
It would be based on his Australian Conservatives movement, which already has more than 50,000 members.
Bernardi is likely to split much sooner than later, and not just because it would be awkward to face questions from his colleagues in the party room this week when parliament resumes.
More importantly, Turnbull and US President Donald Trump have made this the perfect time to start a new party for conservative Liberals fed up with the Turnbull regime.
Bernardi has turned down all interviews lately, which is significant, but the logic all points to him breaking away soon.
This could be fatal for Turnbull, who is already badly weakened.

More like Turnbulls wet dream. With Bernardi and a few other ratbag rightists out of the Liberal Partý it could get back to being a middle of the road affair of old.... That would really gleansome votes. Let Bernardi and the nasties, duke it out among the populist rabble.
