        The desperation of the Murdoch press is hilarious, as is that of the rusted-on Liberals voters. Describing Phelps as "far Left" or even "Labor lite" is hysterical and ridiculous.

        With one key difference, Phelps is not pretending to be a liberal as a flag of convenience.

        Except she's not a member of the Liberal party. Anyway, the people of Wentworth might see that as a good thing.

        He was the party leader... if the party polls low, its him. Looking at the last polls, satisfaction with Turnbull was trending downwards.

        Turnbull was consistently popular in the preferred PM Polls. It was the party & the policies that didn’t Poll well.

        as stated, Turnbull as preferred PM was trending down. ScoMo is polling better as preferred PM than Turnbulls last Newspoll, he is also polling better on net satisfaction.

        I’m not sure of the point you are laboriously attempting to make, Turnbull & Phelps both have immensely likeable personalities, it’s undeniable, they would both charm the pants off any room. Some politicians come across as brusque & distant, they do not.

        My point is quite clear, your subjective claim that Turnbull is likable is not supported by the evidence (polling).
