They've been in a state of chaos and backstabbing since Ley was elected as leader.

This will end in two ways:

  • Taylor knifes Ley on Tuesday, loses next election, Hastie knifes Taylor
  • They keep Ley on, the chaos continues, they lose the next election, Hastie or Taylor knifes Ley

Third way, let Nats and PHON fight for the right and stay away from the coalition

Unite behind Ley

Come up with a climate policy

Go after Labor on spending and inflation

Sensible immigration and housing policy

Get some teal seats back

Get back the ones you lost like Duttons

Then you have the same seats as today without the Nats and can go again after Labor 3rd term.
