Is it too much to hope for that the Liberals could rid itself of the climate change denying Right in a major party split that was actually initiated over Pyne's not particularly shocking comments that he favours gay marriage coming in soon? I doubt it will happen - there are too many of them who would need to leave, I think. But I can't see the conservative forces getting the upper hand in the party room for a leadership spill either - surely they could not contemplate an Rudd-like Abbott rerun, and Dutton has not the slightest hint of any charm that a leader needs. Who else is there that conservatives could be happy with?
Mind you, it's sort of fun watching the culture warrior Right gnashing their teeth over the centrists in the Liberals having the upper hand.
Yes it is too much to hope. They won't split. What will occur they will lose the next election and remain there until they recover their senses.
