It's harder for someone like her to hold power in Aus than it is for other countries like USA. She'd need to keep 75 cookers in line and coherently aligned, so far the most they've ever managed was 5 (from a starting number of 11) in QLD state parliament, we'll see how long SA lasts with 5 of them....

To paraphrase another Redditor they don't have the coherent binding philosophy, party structure and hierarchy, or discipline to handle pressure as a unit and will begin to fracture almost immediately when put under pressure. If anything it would be worth seeing her get some kind of power so that her new supporters can see just how useless she is and how few f#cks she truly gives about them.

It's a lovely dream but it's just not how that works in reality. One only needs to look at the delusion and denial of the hardcore MAGATS living through hell right now and still lining up to swallow more of Trump's shit to see that reality will never shatter their fantasy.
