They're a bit touchy, Mr President! I refer to the urgent, unplanned Liberal party room meeting last night, which, after an hour, approved new rules in an attempt to stop the Liberal leadership chaos. In response to the rule change, Senator Stoker last night said that she was hesitant because:

… I like the idea that a leader has an incentive to be responsive to the party room; and someone who can't confidently command half a party room should have cause to re-evaluate their approach.

Is Senator Stoker correct?
