Actually, they now are all in it. Tony may reluctantly be made a life member.

Steve Bracks and Julia Gillard wooed enough strays into their tent to govern, but Tony is floundering to attract numbers.

I have enjoyed a lengthy media ban on politics and I am thinking of forming my own political party, maybe called PUP. Unenlightened, I do not know if such a party exists. Maybe Tony could be more aware.

My PUP could represent: Politician underestimated professionally, Permanently undermining PM, Pardon ungainly pun (mining), Powerful usurping power broker, Profoundly unencumbered permanently, Philosophically undoing PM, Perpetual unequivocal pandemonium, Pandemic ultimate pantomime.

Standing independently, I am floundering searching for an original anagram party name. I am leaning towards pantomime.

Dictionary: A spectacular play in a dumb show. Generally concludes with farcical tricks performed by clown.

Flounder: To fling the limbs and body, as in making efforts to move, to roll, toss and tumble, to struggle aimlessly.
