IT would seem that in order to be the leader of the pack, the Liberal Party has adopted the stance of trying to hit everyone when it can and leaving enough room to further rein in the opponents for 2016.

The issues were not raised during the campaign of 2010 but it showed its ugly head via the 25 hearings in the Senate, for over a year ago today. Because of the hearings, the preference for the VP sunk. They were enough to cause a doubt among voters that the VP can’t be trusted.
