Turnbull and Shorten: They both lost

It is quite disturbing to listen to both Turnbull and Shorten respond to the results of last Saturday’s federal election. Neither seem to be able to grasp what is blatantly obvious to the rest of us … neither boy has won the day. In fact both of them are patent losers.

The Labor party achieved its second lowest primary vote ever. The Liberal party lost over 1 million votes.

That’s the sum total of the achievements of the two major parties.

The votes went to conservative minor parties … because that’s where middle Australia wants to be; Conservative.

There wasn’t much of a choice for PM.  Either one of these boys.. God help us.

23193747254_0b3539254c_Prime-minister-australia-turnbullThe majority want, and believe in, a conservative government. They also believe that Turnbull probably isn’t that conservative (given his belief in Climate Change propaganda, changing the Marriage Act and firm support for a Republic).

However there wasn’t a choice for the Australian conservative voter, hence the support for the minor conservative parties.  Unfortunately, there were so many that the votes were truly widespread. (There is a real opportunity for these like-minded parties to unite if they decide to).

We, the Australian people, have delivered as strong a message as we can without putting a ruinous Labor party in government. Now that we look like having the major Conservative party in government the big issue is, will Turnbull take heed of the lesson that so begs to be analysed? Will he take on board that whilst he didn’t lose, he didn’t win either? He cannot continue running the Liberal party as his personal ego trip. Can Turnbull understand that in order to retain and regain the voters continued support, he must remake himself, and be a true Liberal man?

As a gemini with a virgo rising I need to have two of everything and all the shirts hanging the right way in the wardrobe.
