Malcolm Turnbull has won the federal Liberal Party leadership from Brendan Nelson by 45 votes to 41. Julie Bishop remains the deputy leader.
I thought Nelson had the numbers. I certainly thought he should have been given a bit longer to prove himself.
If you had asked me three months ago who should be leader of the Libs I probably would have said Turnbull, but, ironically, I have changed my mind.
Regrettably, the person who is, head and shoulders above all others, the best to lead the party, decided not to stand: Peter Costello.
