So that's the 3rd opinion piece, all from different perspectives.
We seem to be definitely heading toward some kind of schism where the actual far right and left are moving further away from centre and the vast majority at various points in the middle cop the fallout.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

If he really loved the party as he professed, he would have retired at the last election. Instead, he sat on the back benches doing everything he said he wouldn't do while drawing a salary. Just like KRudd did.
The key difference is, KRudd was actually popular with the public, so Labor put him back in as PM expecting to lose and hoping he'd minimise the losses. Abbott is not popular personally, never has been (although he has a low bar to beat in Shorten) so they'd be certifiable to put him in charge again.

A letter requesting a party room meeting is being circulated among Liberal MPs, but the party whip's office says there is no meeting scheduled for tonight.

fairy Nuff P4S. I don't read the Guardian as a rule, I did try for a while, but found it bad for my digestion. FWIW, typical of The Guardian, he's generally known as potato head, not cabbage head. I'm sure there's similarities somewhere.
Turnbull is possibly the most intelligent PM we've had in living memory, that hasn't served him well so far
