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.

'I'm buggered': Littleproud declares it's time for new Nationals leader

The Queenslander cried as he spoke to reporters, saying it had been a "pretty rough" time since the May election.

Bananaby Joyce has joined One Nation, and will be blowing the racist neo-nazi dog-whistle until the 2028 Federal Election in the hopes they give him a seat in the Senate.

Barnaby Joyce joins One Nation as sitting MP with promise of future Senate ticket

It's official: Barnaby Joyce has quit the Nationals, and is considering Senate run for One Nation

Called it! About six weeks ago, I predicted Bananaby Joyce was quitting the Nationals to get together with Pauline Hanson and One Nation because he wants an easy route back into the Senate: https://rants.au/@BinChicken/115393444938284028

(Yes, I said what the self-aggrandising Canberra Press Gallery is too gutless to say: "Bananaby Joyce", "Easy Route", and "Pauline Hanson" in the same sentence.)
