What Garrett did, is what ANY aspiring politician does
You pick the party that closest suits your values
And if you WANT to be in government, you pick one of the "big two"

This ALWAYS requires a bit of compromise - and "towing the party line" on some issues
The whole POINT of a political party is to have a united front
If you CAN'T do that, you become an independant
But you'd be VERY lucky to be elected to the Lower (Government) House
And you would NEVER be a minister

Personally, I think Garrett should have JUST been given an expanded Arts portfolio
He could have a free hand (almost) on that one, without seen to be "selling out"
