@politics Said in political conflict between the opposition and the power holders , if lets say in england the conservatives had an inheritence tax idea and added it to there manifesto, the labour party could simply take that idea nad put it into action. which means the conservatives new inivative idea is not as attractive as it once was.
its the reason many ppl say the conservative party ( opposition party now) havnt been in power for a long time because the labour party hijacked there ideas.
" why do we need the conservative party when there is a perfectly good one already in power"
A good point, and one that I believe is correct.
It's somewhat out of the scope of the original discussion though. The original thought requires the person in power to be executing on their original plan, and the detractors to continue to be detracting. Not an uncommon scenario.
I worry that you have hooked onto a semantic mistake, and you are having difficulty seeing past it. As stated, it was probably incorrect to state "the stronger position politically", and should have been along the lines of "the stronger position to argue from after policy implementation".
