Dutton is quite possibly the very worst candidate that the LNP could have chosen. This election was essentially un-losable for the LNP. A slam dunk without having to lift a finger. They could just have answered every question with “do you want another 3 years of this ALP government?” and it people would vote for them.

Instead they’ve completely botched almost every single thing about it to the point where the ALP and the greens are likely going to strengthen their positions despite being one of the worst governments in recent history.

Talking to rank-and-file members within both ALP and LNP parties, it's very clear that they are corrupt and end up selecting people who are clearly the wrong choice, with no connection to the people they're supposed to represent, despite any clearly popular options. Losing un-losable elections is normal. It's pretty sad.

Having only one Prime Minister is an outstanding achievement for recent history. Fuck albo, I'm just saying recent history is garbage and the duopoly has gotta go.

You’re not wrong on that last point actually haha. Seems like 20 years since a PM didn’t get knifed in the back and actually completed a term!
