I hate to say it, but the Nats need to split

David Littleproud has decided to split the Nationals from the Coalition. My prophetic article below.

The wets in the Liberal Party have gone full Woke. They have destroyed the most successful political party in Australian history. If the Liberals had held true to Sir Robert’s vision for the Forgotten People, the Liberal Party would not have forgotten them like the United Australia Party did in 1940s.

The fractured conservative vote of the last election would not have occurred to the same extent if the Liberal Party had spoken to its base. I don’t care what self-professed psephologists say, there were so many of my conservative colleagues who wanted to punish the Liberal Party for abandoning them that, against all my hoping, the election outcome was a fait accompli.

In the Unfiltered newsletter, Alexandra Marshall wrote:

The Liberal Party seems to be having some sort of mid-life identity crisis, talking about going off to ‘rediscover’ itself in the wilderness of opposition. Under the leadership of Sussan Ley, the blue ribbon that held Australian conservatism together isn’t quite sure what it stands for, if it stands for anything, except it doesn’t like any of the policies put forward by its (former) Coalition partner. That would be the partner that performed better than it did at the federal election. It’s no wonder the Nationals are fed up and walked off in a huff. Sure, the Liberals will be free to snaffle up all the Shadow Cabinet seats and draft whatever Labor-lite, Tealish policies it likes, but it will also be free to make a real mess of itself as it puts the revered ‘values’ statement in the shredder.

My prophetic article in The Spectator Australia, I hate to say it, but the Nats need to split.
