Any thoughts on the new Liberal and Nationals leaders?

No one could be any worse than Honey.
 

Yawn, yawn.

I reckon she's got a bigger set than most of the blokes. Good luck to her we are crying out for a formidable opposition. I was disappointed to see Mia Davies quit politics. Liked her. Pity she isn't a liberal her and Libby could have formed a formidable team even as a coalition at the next election.

Libby is a good choice, good luck to her.

Mettams sounds like she's got some gumption to hopefully get rid of the dickheads that make up the "Clan". This mob have done more to damage the WA Lib's brand than anything else in it's history.

Mia is my local member and a gun, was working the York polling place and talking to a labor Scrutineer who said he admired her and said she was one of the most capable and hardest working pollies in the game. But can understand her moving on as the thought of another 8 to 10 years in opposition would not be terribly attractive to such an intelligent capable individual.

Good luck to her. Democracy needs a credible alternative government. The situation we have in WA is not good at the moment.

Peter Collier has already come crawling with his tail between his legs apologising for his offensive remarks in the leaked Clan WhatsApp group chat. And she’s dumped right wing nut job Nick Goiran one of the Clan leaders. Stripped him of all his shadow portfolios. It’s got to be just about game over for David Honey who didn’t have the balls to do the same, in fact he defended them. 

The real task ahead for Libby is attracting new blood that is voteable if that’s a word.

Spot on DD. I think she's made a statement and started to clean out the deadwood. The task now as you say, is to attract new talent and have supporters and donors who left previously, come back into the fold.

There are a couple of issues for her and the Libs, firstly the general population who can vote needs to know what she is doing and although the west being what it is for the libs will make some noise will it be enough for the 'exlib' and currently swing voters to take any notice.

Secondly, she needs to be whining and whinging and be a credible opposition, one that offers alternatives rather than just berate the current government. Like or not the current lot the libs and nationals have not offered any credible alternate plans.

Lastly, they need to keep their distance from humpty dumpty and stay out federal issues unless there is a direct impact on WA!
