The ABC can reveal the results of YouGov's latest MRP model, which finds the Peter Dutton-led Coalition would be likely to win about 73 seats if an election was held today.
Yeah, i’ll never understand the philosophy behind Labor not supporting that.
I’ve heard it explained as, we need both sides otherwise its untenable and the LNP will repeal it in the Government they have.
But thats fine, sets up a political fight that future Labor can bash LNP over the head with, its an issue Labor could fight on, and at best overwhelm the agenda of that LNP Government, rendering them less effective. Come voting time the electorate will wonder what they’ve done apart from fight with the opposition all term. Thats maybe a best case scenario though.
I’ve also heard it makes it hard for campaign promises, statements. I don’t buy it, seems like an easy out. Or i’m not taking the time to understand it.
It might make it more difficult to run a scare campaign, arguably like “mediscare”. But if Labor is worried about not being able to lie a bit I get the feeling they’re about to see just how outclassed they really are.
