Progressive politics is about personal freedom, which seems to imply "me first" politics, which progressives are fond of tagging the conservatives with.
Funny thing, the conservatives think the same way, "me first" about money and family, but nonetheless other-directed in the sense they think about region and nation.
"'Tis a puzzlement..."
Yes, but once again, there's the legislature, and its deals, and the corporate lobbyists and THEIR legislators, the party system, with its allocation of funds, and then, way down the list, the voters who can probably be disregarded because at the least little violation of their single issue will sit on their hands.
I would say it is the voter that is loyally voting for the same party no matter how many times their interests get run over that can be safely disregarded. Sweden's finest (and perhaps only) collaborative, leftist e-newspaper Synapze.se
