Conservative Party v.s. Republican Party

[Mike P]

This isn't the first time that the Conservative Party has run its own candidate for office in New York instead of cross-endorsing a Republican, and it won't be the last.

What it almost invariably does is allow a Democrat to win in a three-way race without a majority of the votes, as it splits the Republican vote.

Yes, but at least they won't have to print up any new talking points.

This is a big problem with centralized power in party politics.
