I'm not sure about a 100 seat margin. Watch the North Sydney by-election today. Abbott was deposed because the WA seat was said to be in danger with a 10% swing away prophesized. Yet they kept that seat comfortably in spite of Abbott or Turnbull. Odds on North Sydney are for a much greater swing away from the incumbents. A lot of people have said they won't vote Liberal while Turnbull is at the helm. Rewarding treachery is not in their nature. Dick Smith's party, has a real chance at this election and may be the first sign of what fortunes lie ahead for Turnbull and Co.
