...result of incoherent party platforms. Individual senators can cut deals with the opposition only because there isn’t any ideological coherence within their party. In turn, this empowers radicals because they aren’t pulled to the middle by a party line with broad appeal. And, of course, such shameless horse-trading produces ungainly, ineffective progeny—loose and baggy ideological bastards like the 2004 Medicare bill.So, whereas David Cameron provides a coherent set of moderate Tory opposition policies without being lauded for bipartisanship, Democrats can only offer an incoherent mix policies ranging from radical left...

...they entered the largely Sunni neighborhood of al-Jihad and slaughtered at least 50 people, including several women and children. Eight days later, Sunni fighters attacked a market in Mahmoudiya, just south of the capital, and mowed down more than 50 Shi'ites.
