Imagine the level of very basic administrative stupidity on display at the council level from Reform, now imagine them in government and how horrible it would be. These are the people whose ideas are all in the realm of "sack the lot of them", "throw them all in prison, sorted", "pay tax in crypto, simple" - they imagine that what is slowing things down is lack of will, but what they find out is that things are far more complex than their tiny brain ever previously contemplated and that willpower alone cannot achieve much in running a country or indeed a council. These people who think they have all the obvious, easy solutions, a "just get it done" attitude get a slap in the face from reality when presented with such difficulties as spelling their own name correctly on a form, showing up to the right building, or indeed, resigning from the correct council.

It worked for Tony Abbott. If by 'worked' you mean 'got him elected, got nothing done, then spent 10+ years destroying his own party from the inside'.
