The exchange of emails on the NDP's future that has made up a topic of discussion in at least two other threads, as well as what happened to "New Labour" in the UK, the SPD in Germany and the other left parties suggest the need for this thread, as well as the comments made by some that "purists" allegedly don't think that left parties should try to win elections.And the choices most of the American left made in this last presidential election also enter in to this. So, let's have at it. 1)What issues would YOU be willing to compromise on in the name of the party you support winning power? 2)What issues would you NEVER compromise on, or would consider such a betrayal that they would make "victory" in an election meaningless?
