That's true, which is probably worse than being ideology driven when I think about it.

There's a typical moral dilemma involved - the political "trolley problem":
Suppose you are leading a party that has an effective plan to address a lot of preventable deaths.
If you lose, many people won't be saved.
If you bend your values and engage in manipulating public opinion, making empty promises, lying and so on you are much more likely to win.
What would you do?
