If you are a political party then its the ONLY thing and that is what the topic is about.
You want to discuss the value of conservatism then happy to agree with you but on another thread
“If you are a political party then its the ONLY thing and that is what the topic is about.”
I disagree. The point of political parties is not simply to win. For some, maybe most, members of the party, yes, I suppose it is. But for some of them, the point of the party is to institute certain platforms. To have a certain set of principles, not just a certain set of people, in power.
If winning is the only point, why bother having two parties? Why not have a one-party system? Then your party always wins.
