- jfengel 6y agoIt means that there is genuine disagreement within the party about how best to handle it. Some call for radical change; others prefer a more incremental approach. The disagreement is real and substantial, and there are genuine unknowns and risks. And that leads to real political risks: no matter what they will be tarred with the brush of their most radical element, while the radicals feel that they aren't being listened to. As a sibling comment to yours put it, the party is "largely funded by the same people" as their opponents. So they're unable to put forward a radical program, and seem to get little traction on incremental changes. That, I believe, manifests as what the OP thinks of as "unable to focus".
