No matter the outcome of today's knifing, there should be changes to the constitution to stop this continual procession of PM's being offered up as sacrificial lambs.

It's the Coalition's party politics, not the constitution. Even if you could propose to change the constitution, we would need to have a referendum.

Rudd changed they way that leaders can be elected (and knifed) in the labor party so if Shorten is elected you will have the stability that you desire.

If Dutton (or ScoMo) is elected, you will still have Abbott scheming to get back to the top.

I'm not enough of a political analyst to have known that, but what you say makes sense. Too bad the libs haven't taken note.

Malcolm has done a Frank Underwood on Dutton. Hope it plays out.

Yeah but it'll be 3 months of the same shit they've done the last 3 months

The Libs only hold a 1 seat majority. If Dutton wins and Malcolm steps aside, the seat will be unrepresented. Meaning that Dutton can't form Government. General election time in 6 weeks. Labor wins.

ScoMo wins. Malcolm stays on. ScoMo does his best to win an election late next year.

If mal got the ass i would have doubts he would bother to stay on ... perfectly good opportunities for him elsewhere

Does it automatically go double dissolution? I'd have thought no. Definitely would if they kept failing to pass bills but simple fix, don't present any until after by-election.

Unless Turnbull, Dutton and/or Abbott leave party then Labor win election whenever, against whoever, because people aren't going to vote for Dutton or Abbott, and voting for Turnbull means one of them is likely to rear their ugly heads to challenge anyway. Same if Morrison or Bishop was leader.

For the good of the country the people in Dutton's & Abbott's electorates should probably vote them out
