Are the Libs imploding halfway through the election campaign?

John Howard's election campaign strategies appear to be causing disquiet among a number of Liberal Party insiders.

 

This last week we have seen a suggestion that should the Coalition Government gain re-election, there would be an immediate move by his party to oust Howard from the position of prime minister.

Also making it into media reports is the fact that some Liberals believe that Howard's presentation of a Howard-Costello prime ministerial team was a fatal mistake.

Then we see that other Liberal insiders are unhappy with Tony Abbot's performance showing a government which is arrogant, blase and too long in office.

Another Liberal leak suggested that John Howard's attitude to this election was all 'me, me, me'.

 

The fact that Liberal Party members are leaking to the press in the middle of a tight election campaign suggests that they are indulging in a bit of early payback for what they see as John Howard's unwinnable position.
