Mens Michael Aastrup Jensen er gået i flyverskjul, kan der være grund til at reflektere over hans og partiet Venstres situation.
Ved valget i 2019 havde partiet en tilslutning på 23,4 pct., der blev omsat i 43 mandater. Det betød opretholdelse af en betydelig offentlig partistøtte, og økonomisk støtte til folketingsgruppens arbejde på Christiansborg og til et stort antal partiansatte. Desuden har kommentatorer, rådgivere, public affairs-folk osv. haft deres karriere i og omkring Venstre.
Hvis de nuværende meningsmålinger holder til næste valg, vil Venstre kun opnå tilslutning fra 13,6 pct. og dermed 25 mandater i Folketinget.
Det er altså ikke kun Michael Aastrup Jensen, der som følge af Dubai-skandalen må stille sig om i køen af arbejdsløse. Han får følgeskab af 18 Folketingskolleger og et utal af andre, der hidtil har haft deres udkomme fra det kriseramte liberale konglomerat i Danmark.
Den mindskede efterspørgsel efter Jarl Corduas analyser af magtkampene i Venstre vil betyde, at han fuldt ud kan hellige sig “Hitlers Æselører”, reportager fra Panzermuseum East og hans krigshistoriske analyser.
