Now that you have found that straw, what would it take to meet halfway and find compromises that would better this nation and the world?
What stops us from finding these compromises?
What stops you from working on finding people to elect that will work for these compromises?
(Just a gut feeling, more than most will blame the other party in some way, which is sad... but the parties themselves can't even reach compromise levelks within themselves, each party (even the Lib.) have sold out their beliefs to extremists, lobbyists, the media and so on.)

Instead of telling us what we could do to better the country and work for compromise, we got answers pointing fingers, personal attacks, and so on.
I simply asked what it would take for YOU to meet halfway and work to better the country. What it would take for YOU to find people who could work on that halfway point and compromises.
All I asked and yet, people still fight, still refuse even in a thread to just imagine for a second compromising their political parties and beliefs to benefit the nation.
