Revolution the new spirit of the Libs’ true fightback

MALCOLM Turnbull is gone and all but buried. In a stunning revolt, the Liberals grassroots are reclaiming a party hijacked by a leader of the Left.
snips:
Last month came the flame, with warming sceptic Lord Monckton, a gifted mathematician, receiving lots of talkback air time after revealing unreported clauses in the draft global warming treaty Kevin Rudd hopes to get signed at Copenhagen next month.
One such clause, as I’ve reported, commits Australia to hand over $7 billion a year to the United Nations as its “climate debt”, sparking claims of a new “world government”...
...And on the weekend came the final incitement of the grassroots - the leaking of thousands of emails from the world’s leading warmist scientists showing they’d tricked up data and suppressed sceptical scientists, even though, as IPCC co-author Kevin Trenberth, privately admitted: “The fact is that we cannot account for the lack of warming at the moment.”
To: Fred Nerks — posted this to you on another thread, but going to put it here -— on the Aussie thread. (Exciting to see a real slugfest.)

MALCOLM Turnbull’s arrogant decision to declare the party that has rebelled against him as being in favour of the Emissions Trading Scheme has created a crisis that may see the Liberals join him in the political wilderness.
Unprecedented scenes in Parliament last night saw not only the Coalition in turmoil with a growing tide of shadow ministers resigning from the frontbench to allow themselves to oppose the ETS, but the Rudd Government seeking ways to ram the amendments the Opposition leader agreed to through the Senate before Mr Turnbull goes.
For now, he remains defiant and is still seen by his supporters as trying to modernise the Liberal Party into a political force for the 21st century.
More likely, he will end on the scrapheap of history.
