It’s time to step aside (refers to Australia’s conservative opposition leader)

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.
