A progressive dialogue: Beating the right at their own game

Conservatives have been winning -- in Canada and elsewhere -- for the last 30 years. That's because they've been playing to win.

Do progressives want to win? Moreover, do they know how? Observing how conservatives have won for three decades helps to identify three key elements to winning: big ideas; the infrastructure of success; and electoral realpolitik. Of course there are other elements, but omit any of these three critical legs, and the effort will topple.

Big ideas

A big idea is an idea that changes things. It is not an idea that fits in with things as they are.
