Not a Fascist. Just a very naughty boy...

I loathe Tony Abbott and his colleagues, and hate what he's trying to do to Australia. But unless police batton-charge the March in March, or we're confronted with gangs of semi-uniformed thugs, he will not have earned the 'Fascist' label.

I do think he has taken the IPA message to heart. He wants to be a right-wing-libertarian version of Gough Whitlam; a transformative leader*. Which is why he is unlikely to be swayed by his lack of popularity; he's not concerned about a second term if he is able to enact his agenda in the first.

It's also why a bad result for him from the WA Senate election is so important; stop him enacting his agenda, he will be forced to play nice until he can win a second term to enact it. When we can throw the bastard out instead.

*He's wrong (as the IPA) about how to become a transformative leader; Whitlam built a civil society. IPA and Abbott want to destroy it.
