Don't drag the Liberal Party to the right

It's just nonsense to imagine that people voted for Labor candidates because the Liberals weren't right-wing enough. Government members need to recognise that to get anything done they need Xenophon.

Tony Abbott will recontest his seat of Warringah. But should he?

Why Abbott should go

... and a few other Liberal MPs such as Bronwyn Bishop and Philip Ruddock should stop being so selfish and move on.
