What Angus Taylor has is the legitimacy of One Nation helped along by a Liberal Party that is legitimising democracy.

Their message, Angus Taylor's most recent speeches on migration, where he advocates for a return to a discriminatory migration policy, is, you know, very much in line with what One Nation has been offering.

And then they're preferencing One Nation as well, which is what one former Liberal MP told me was maybe the stupidest suicide note for a modern political party.

And so they do need to be worried because the seats that are going to fall to One Nation or the seats that are currently most in danger of falling to One Nation are coalition seats.

Maranoa was in trouble even before One Nation's most recent rise.

Capricornia, Herbert, Lindsay, La Trobe, these are all seats that are at risk of falling to One Nation.

We've seen research too.

There's been studies that have been done that have looked at, you know, what's happened to political parties that have gone further to the right to try to appease the right.

And basically what's happened is they've just legitimised

the far right, and people go to the originator rather than the imitator.

So it is a reordering of the right.

It does not look like the modern Liberal Party is going to make it through this.

It does not look like the coalition will make it through this.

That doesn't mean that centre-right politics won't exist.

It just means that we're probably going to see something new emerge.

And Barnaby Joyce was openly saying that recently, where he was saying, this might be it, they might be done.

And that's because he's looked at the electoral landscape as somebody who was a member of the national apparatus and is now a member of One Nation.

And he's seeing which way those votes flow.

That's not to say that Labor won't be in trouble.

But at the moment, the most immediate danger to a major political party is to the coalition.
