Politics as of late has created a phenomenon of extremism. In Australia, we’ve seen the rise of One Nation; America, it is Trump; and in Europe, Eurosceptic parties are in full swing. Once where functioning democracy stood stands a vile sense of hatred and fear. Malcolm Turnbull’s liberalism contrasted with George Christiansen’s traditional conservatism displays the clear divide within the party and suggests nothing will ever be done without one side of the party holding the other to ransom.  

Australia, of all nations, needs ‘Tory Democracy’.
