URGENT UPDATE: The National Party has just reaffirmed its shocking commitment to make the Liberal Party “completely unelectable” by 2050. During a weekend meeting, party officials made it clear they will persist with extreme climate policies designed to erode support for their Coalition partner.
David Littleproud, the Nationals’ leader, expressed confidence that they could achieve this ambitious goal much sooner. “We’re certainly bullish about our chances of wiping them out completely before the end of this decade,” he stated, emphasizing a strategy that runs counter to public sentiment on climate action.
Littleproud insists that by ignoring what Australians want in terms of climate policy, the Nationals can trigger a significant shift in suburban seats. “If we do the exact opposite of what Australians want done on climate, we can change those seats pretty quickly,” he declared.
In a further demonstration of the party’s extreme stance, Matt Canavan, a prominent Nationals MP, claimed, “Australians are crying out for cheaper energy prices.” He suggested that pushing coal as the primary energy source while dismissing alternative strategies like nuclear could lead to the total destruction of the Liberal Party’s electoral chances within the next electoral cycle.
When pressed on the rationale behind their destructive strategy towards their Coalition partner, Littleproud’s response was alarming. “Because we’re mad as a cut snake, it’s as simple as that,” he stated, revealing a chaotic mindset behind their decision-making.
The implications of this commitment are significant. As the Nationals push forward with these divisive policies, the future of the Liberal Party—and the broader Coalition government—now hangs in the balance.
WHAT’S NEXT: Observers will be watching closely as the Nationals implement their strategy and whether it will indeed lead to the anticipated losses in urban seats. This development poses a critical turning point for Australia’s political landscape, especially with upcoming elections on the horizon.
