Abbott is Dan, Turnbull is Sakura. Shorten can be the new arabic character with the DBZ scouter, I don't care.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Anyone else getting the feeling this isn't as done and dusted a deal as it seemed a couple of hours ago? No one except for No Recollection Arfur and the 12 year old has come out for Turnbull. Speaking of 12 year olds, this James Glenday is loving useless and Latika Bourke should have a go even if she's neither white, nor a man. She actually knows poo poo.

She's probably too busy negotiating for the position of Bishop's CoS, though.

Hayseeds can't vote in a Libspill. They'd just be there for intimidation/comedy value.

Clearly the best result would be Turnt Bull winning by a single vote; party disunity continues unfettered; Labor replace Shortly with Albomania; ALP win in glorious landslide.

It's a secret ballot. You come out and say "I support turnbull" and it turns out abbott wins, you're hosed.

Come out and say you support tones, and turnbull wins? well, I'm sure he'd dig.

Yeah, I get that feeling too, though I think a lot of the Turnbull supporters just aren't talking much. Roy's got nothing to lose, and Sinodinos just loving hates Abbott.
