David Littleproud has quit as leader of the National Party of Australia.
In recent months, David Littleproud's notable leadership achievements include:
- Breaking-up the decades-long Coalition between the Nationals and the Liberals multiple times in a matter of months.
- Coming close to destroying the LNP / Coalition with the contrarily-named Liberal Party of Australia, and securing its position of irrelevancy for the next election.
- Coming close to destroying the National Party, and securing their position of irrelevancy for the next election.
- Failing to swing the Coalition so far to the right that it adopts his personal Neo-Nazi policies.
- Giving airtime to Neo-Nazi policies, such as those espoused by One Nation, thereby doing nothing to help the Nationals but drastically improving One Nation's polling for the next election.
- Shafting prior, long-standing leader of the National Party, Bananaby Joyce, so nastily that he quit the Nationals and sucked-up to Pauline Hanson to join One Nation.
- Shafting leader of the Liberal Party, Susssan Ley, so nastily that she lost a spill for her party's leadership position to Angus Taylor, and then quit politics altogether.
That's quite a list of achievements by David Littleproud! Little wonder that he proclaimed, "I'm buggered, I've had enough," at today's press conference.
