Comment on Is Australia's Overton Window Shifting?
null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week agoYour comments are contrary to most other commentary.
Karvellas asserted the inverse just this morning: Ley represents a significant shift to the centre.
You’re right in that she will probably get knifed in the coming months. “See, we tried centrism and it didn’t work”.
However, even the liberals recognising that there’s a need to demonstrate that they tried centrism is significant.
I’m happy to acknowledge that your opinion is unchanged. For my own part I think everything that has transpired over the last week demonstrates a change of trajectory.

The vote was only 29 to 25 in favour of Ley, and 2 of her biggest supporters are senators who are about to finish up. It could potentially be as easy as switching a couple of votes to flip the balance of power inside the party room. Not to mention Price didn’t even run for deputy, which suggests she is waiting for a better opportunity after a conservative wins the leadership. It’s just denying reality to pretend that this is evidence of them accepting a shift to the centre, they are still a massively divided party.

That’s pretty much what I said.
That’s the opposite of what Karvellas said.
