Their separate interest groups do not intersect to the same extent as do those on the right. Rather than create their own institutions, the left and the center-left have stuck with the institutional party structure, which is designed to win elections, not build the kinds of training centers and think tanks that have been cranking out right-wing policy and activists over the course of generations.”
