  Biden didn’t decimate the republicans.

    What’s your definition of “decimate”.

    Macron beat the french far right 75% a bit less than a decade ago, and now his party is on the major decline and the far right has the highest popular vote and are favourites to win the next election.

      Decimate means a 10% reduction… to put to death one soldier from each squad of 10.

      Last night on ABC’s party room Fran Kelly quoted a sitting liberal member saying the party faces an existential threat, although Fran did note that sounded like hyperbole.

      Of course I acknowledge that the liberal party can return to strength before the next election but will they need more centrist policies to do so?
