I'm a bit iffy on this, all this proclaiming the liberal party is dead after 1 admittedly bad result
I feel like a similar article about low membership of Labor could have been written about after 2013:

Maybe because I'm old and the liberals have been in power 2/3rds of my life that I just refuse to believe if they put someone who isn't a complete muffin in charge they won't claw back a large amount of seats
Both LibLab have been slowly but consistently losing voters for decades, but Libs were already an endangered species in WA for years, and now have even been ousted in Tassie! This isn't new, but the federal level of manipulation/propaganda through Uncle Rupert kept the larger populations esp of Boomers in the fold, but fortunately, they are finally dying off and aren't the biggest demographic anymore. Thank fuck.
