Coalition Facing Uphill Battle in Boothby
New analysis from The Australia Institute has found that nearly one in five Liberal voters in Boothby are now less likely to vote for the party after Malcolm Turnbull was dumped as Prime Minister.
Furthermore, the majority of Boothby voters support increased spending on health and education over tax cuts and register overwhelming support for an independent and well-funded ABC.
“With the margin in Boothby sitting at just two per cent, the Liberal Party can’t afford to lose any votes ahead of the next election if they want to hold onto the seat,” said Noah Schultz-Byard, The Australia Institute’s SA projects manager.
