Future...]

Firstly, I agree that he should take this course because I'd like the
ALP to be forced into negotiating a better one with the Greens and
independents. Of course, most supporters of the official conservatives
know that this would be a massive own goal because

a) they could not win the next election this way
b) large swathes of business would be totally ****ed off at getting a
much less business friendly ETS and those who had done the right thing
would have to wait longer to be rewarded -- and they'd hate the Libs
for extending the period of uncertainty and possibly cutting them out
of what was going on O/S

Turnbull would be finished as contender but nobody else would want to
be leader.


These explain why not only must Turnbull not take this course, but why
he won't.
