It so bothers me that I applaud such behavior, since it should be a universal requirement for the job.
Because in this community, in the general election, the winner will be the one who has the R next to their name. Who they are, and what they stand for, rarely matters unless the problems are very extreme.

At least in the UK with a parliamentary system, you can sustain more than 2 parties, so maybe it feels just a tad less tribal.
