by moving left. (on immigration, or almost any other issue currently in the mix)

(can already hear voices scrambling to bring forward Gaza and Israel - and, IMO, there too - chances are very good you lose as many votes as you gain - in what would surely be framed as pandering to the Palestinian protest. not a very popular movement in national opinion.)

Understand - not arguing that she should have moved right as the article cautions - but I don't think a move in the other direction would have seen much benefit either.
