Finally! The limp-wristed Liberal moderates who lost the election for Peter Dutton have been defeated.
Federal Coalition leader Sussan Ley has lost a challenge to her position today from Angus Taylor MP, not even a year into the job.
Taylor was elected to the leadership by a margin on 34 to 17 in the party room meeting this morning.
This unfortunately means the party still has 17 delusional MPs and Senators who think climate change is real and housing is unaffordable for young people.
But still, Angus Taylor tore home with a much bigger margin than people thought.
Ley's short stint on the glass cliff has been somewhat of a shit go, with the party’s first female leader forced to endure two splits with Coalition partner the Nationals - who don’t respond well to being told what to do by a woman.
Furthermore, her Liberal colleagues have been clearly panicking as Pauline Hanson creeps ahead of Sussan Ley as the three-party preferred Sheilah.
While some would say these polls are largely irrelevant due to the fact that the next election is 3 years away - and it is almost certain that an overly confident Pauline Hanson will do her arse before then - the ambitions of Sussan Ley’s colleagues simply could not wait to find out.
Taylor’s co-conspirators say gender has nothing to do with it, however a 2 minute conversation with the average Sky News-brain branch member will tell you the only got the job because of DEI.
Either way, today’s change in leadership has instilled confidence in the base. And has purged all those cancerous wet liberal lefties from the party.
Unfortunately that also means the last remnants of the Liberal Party’s post-war female voter base will also be leaving ‘the broad church’.
This may create problems down the track for Taylor, given the fact Albanese just won 94 seats in a bloodbath election victory because the Liberals give women under 80 the ick.
But for now, the Liberal party and their friends in the media will just enjoy the sugar hit - like they did when Turnbull rolled Nelson, and then Abbott rolled Turnbull, and then Turnbull rolled Abbott, and then Scotty From Marketing rolled Turnbull.
