Oh, dear. Abbott’s problem was that, like Maggie Thatcher, he was too honest and not sufficiently willing to grovel to the media. Any chance that he will return to office, or is he out, like Maggie was? She was also pushed out by RINO “Conservatives,” who were indistinguishable from the Labour Party.

I can't see it happening. It did happen with Labor during their last term in office (Kevin Rudd who won the 2007 election was removed by an internal vote and replaced by Julia Gillard and then later there was another internal vote, and he came back) but I think Abbott is just too unpopular at this point. If Turnbull can't turn the party around, Scott Morrison would be the likely one the conservative wing of the party would likely try to replace him with now - and Morrison would be another genuine conservative, though perhaps not quite to the extent of Abbott. If Turnbull does turn the elecorate around - well, frankly, though Turnbull is a centrist, it's better to have him in power than a Shorten led Labor government - and conservatives will still have a voice under Turnbull in his cabinet.
