I agree. Compare what happened in New Zealand when John Key and the National party ousted the long-term Labor government.
Despite some major missteps from Key/National, Labor's spent the last term and a half fighting amongst themselves about who will lead it. There just wasn't the talent or the public respect for the interim leaders that could compete with Key.
My money's on a few Liberal terms in government, I'm afraid. The scary thing is, the second time they get voted in, they'll treat it was a strengthened mandate to do what they want.

Never underestimate the power of the opposition to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
We could be having Labor leadership scuffles for the next three years.
