Sneetches in Canberra

With voters increasingly swinging between our two political parties it’s a wonder that all the backbenchers, both Labor and the Coalition, don’t quit and form their own party.

They could call it the Backbenchers Party.

They would have an immediate majority in the lower house and they could form a government outside of an election.

Of course, they would then have to change their name to the Frontbenchers Party.

Then the former frontbenchers, both government and shadow, could join forces as the new Backbenchers Party.
