it shouldn't be. If party loyalty trumps good governance, you messed up somewhere.

  Is sitting back and letting you political opponent steam roll you good governance?

    The fact that you view this as a fight (using the word "opponent") is the problem. It's not a boxing match. The fact that it has become one means your electoral system is flawed. In a proper system, you have different people with different goals (eg Greens who want less pollution, businesspeople who want lower taxes, socialists who want worker's rights, etc) and they have to compromise (greens cancel the carbon tax is businesspeople accept to ban a certain type of very toxic manufacturing, for example) and WORK TOGETHER.

      > electoral system is flawed. Obviously this is the problem. But its flaws have lead us to a situation that makes it impossible to fix them. Either we work within the system we have or we're left powerless.
