The voters are not the party and the party is not the party leadership. The actual policies that end up being supported have little-to-nothing to do with the stuff that gets talked about while campaigning, and this only gets more true the further away from the actual voter the position is.
Yeah. You can implement any policy you want if you can always blame the other party for it (and have your voters eat it up).
