You're definitely right about sitting in-between us on the political spectrum.

What's clear is that the party doesn't like Turnbull.
You know you're truly scrapping the bottom of the barrel if Dutton is considered your best alternate candidate.

Zero charisma and a turd.

As a whole, we get the politicians we deserve. If society wasn't so greedy/stupid/short-sighted we might have a chance of getting politicians who can think about the future. As it is we are left we arseholes bribing idiots.

I may not be a fan, but pure evil is a massive overstatement, particularly from someone who says they don't believe in the notion of evil. :wink:
