The Rudd/Gillard wars all over again

It's kind of incredible that the Coalition is undergoing the same destabilising turmoil that happened with Rudd and Gillard - with the only difference being that Abbott is so thick he doesn't seem to realise that the public doesn't want him back:
Former prime minister Tony Abbott has threatened to cross the floor of Parliament and vote against any move to introduce a clean-energy target, describing as "unconscionable" any move to wind back support for coal in favour of renewables.
Given that the Turnbull government, due to that pesky constitutional problem, is hanging on by a thread anyway, it must seem particularly odious to him that Abbott would be talking up instability in his own government.

Abbott's reputation as a PM is already near rock bottom.  This is only making it worse, if that is possible.

    The only person he remains a hero to are the single women over 45 at Catallaxy. (And some of the men there over 65.)

    Most Australians would vomit at the thought of Abbott becoming leader of the coalition again. If conservatives think Abbott is their saviour they are delusional. Steve is right, conservatives need to find better leaders. That they keep looking to Abbott as the comeback kid speaks volumes about the dearth of talent in conservative politics.

    Abbott is the worst PM we have ever had narrowly edging out Stanley Bruse
