> Don’t mistake campaigning or messaging for actual party policy.
Really? I've seen this my whole life from political rulers. They start campaigning for something outrageous that the people and their voters absolutely do not want. While at the same time saying that they don't really mean it and nothing is actually going to change. A few years later they have implemented the hated policy and say "Of course, we said we were going to do it from the beginning!".
Drives me nuts that people fall for it every time. When politicians say they're going to do something awful, they will! You might even see yourself or your children sent to war.
