Alpha versus sigma

Someone once said to me about a person with whom I have some dealings "Ah well I suppose he's not bad for an alpha male!" She was right, but any alpha male is pretty difficult to take.

It is what gives some amusement to politics I suppose.

Self-proclaimed alpha leader Turnbull handing out fiats to his party cohorts to make sure that another alpha protege Mr Dutton gets a safe seat.

And oh to be Barnaby Joyce who is so alpha-assured that he can tell them all to go and get nicked.

I still predict that Malcolm will tire of this!
