The most difficult current problem for political parties is (as Democrats reflect on their loss):
If voters' views diverge from your's/supporters' (say on immigration), how do you proceed?
a) shift your stance to attract those voters (who may in any case reject your overtures as they see you speaking in bad faith)?
b) try to change their minds, by contradicting the powerful right wing media?
To often its a) as politicians feel they cannot effectively counter the right wing media.
