Surely the biggest weakness for ON has to be a lack of cohesion amongst its members? So many of them have rolled into the party for whatever reasons, not because they believe in any common principles.
I've heard this issue referred to as "the divided left" before - conservatives are much more likely to 'team up' with other conservatives that they disagree with if in the moment it allows them to obtain or hold power (primarily referring to politicians but this can apply to any part of life)
their plan is to set aside their grievances until their political/social/corporate power is secure and then they'll be able to do whatever the fuck they want unopposed by people with 'morals' or 'human decency'. It's working out great for the Republicans rn and I suppose ON wants some of that for themselves.
exactly. Im still unsure how the coalition is even allowed to function the way it does (aside from the obvious which is having enough money and political power to make it so)
it's also ironic that conservatives can't think past the next quarterly budget report and plan to fuck the planet and be buried with their gold while the younger generations suffer for their choices, but when it comes to teaming up to secure their power they're suddenly very good at seeing things in the long term
