So this is the thing. Everything to do with presenting a united front and/or making political compromises is presented as duplicitous, unprincipled scheming. I'm not saying Smith is perfect, but some of the stuff he's being slated for is normal party politics. It isn't something I'd like to do personally. But I accept some political compromises always need to be made between competing policy objectives given limited resources.
