True. But then they should focus on one or the other and don't cause contradictions.

It is hard to understand how you can have 'Refugees welcome' and 'Full support for our LGBTQ' agendas at the same time.

Cologne and Düsseldorf were vibrant cities embracing an openly gay lifestyle. This has become impossible. You barely see rainbow flags and guys walking hand in hand or kissing each other on the streets anymore.

Sadly political alliances everywhere are built on such contradictory promises, be it either right or left wing. You have to pickup the remaining voter segment which your competitor has isolated, as long as it is big enough.
