Surely politics is like making a marriage a long and happy one such as I had, you have to have a bit of give and take because intransigence gets you absolutely nowhere.
You can have "principles" and a "vision" and "beliefs" hence an argument or heated discussion starts but in the end you settle for the middle ground you can both agree on.
