Which parts of their platform do you find extreme on the social conservate side? III.A.1 where they talk about full funding for arts, music, and physical education? How about V.A.6 where they want to fully fund a mental health initiative? (Huge potential benefits related to poverty and homelessness) How about V.C.23 where they talk about extending prescription benefits to those in palliative and homecare? Or maybe VII.C.8 where they talk about increasing transition support for those fleeing from domestic violence?
As for the 'gotcha' media. Sometimes it's just easier to be able to classify and rank a political party on a 2 dimentional scale from one side to another for reference purposes than to actually learn about their policies and actually digest and report on what's actually happening.
