The Coalition only have themselves to blame, Scomo kept on trying to bullcrap his way through the campaign, you would have thought after the public being exposed to so much Trump bullcrap over the last few years they might have woken up to the fact the negative lying is no longer an election positive for anybody except a welded on numpty.
Then Scomo to add insult to injury tries to sell his Captain's pick Deves as the voice of the downtrodden and unheard, except she is the elite of the elite and didn't say a word throughout the whole campaign! She was for the downtrodden and unheard provided they stayed invisible and unheard!
Frydenberg must be devastated, Scomo's basically thrown him under the bus to make sure the next leader is hand picked from the NSW Right, the Coalition as a result will take a further step towards the extreme right, I suppose someone called Frydenberg doesn't fit that bill!
Some irony in the ALP winning Chisholm off the Coalition given the Coalition always accuse the ALP as being in bed with China, and the ALP oust Liu in an electorate overloaded with Chinese immigrants, that's a hell of a tell that your party is on the nose!
In WA the Coalition said it would keep Hasluck, which needed a 7.%% swing to shift, and they lost it to the ALP!
If the ALP can form a government they probably have 2 or 3 consecutive terms now to see out, because it's going to take a massive swing to make the Coalition relevant again!
I feel sorry for many grass roots Liberals, their party has been hijacked by closet fundamentalists and general public and the Teal has seen through it! The ALP is no better, it's infiltrated by secret eco-terrorists, neither party has any remaining purity.
The big winners are the Independents, that is until they expose themselves for what they really are, because there is a huge difference between getting elected while keeping a secret agenda, and making that agenda public to enact it as policy!
Elections have consequences. Break out the popcorn and coca-cola, this should be fun.
