What party-loyalty 'brings forth'.

We have already mentioned the harmful effects of so-called Party loyalty. Party-loyalty by any name could be properly based on differing versions of what is good for Democracy. Of course, in a Democracy, no political party should be against Democracy, since that is the underlying political principle that permits, in the first place, those 'differing' Parties to exist. That's only common sense. The subtle injection of economic values into the political sphere is very easy, but that is not democratic, and can result in a common, but harmful mistake. Basically, the harmful result is a re-valuation of basic democratic values. Money and economic values do not constitute a 'democratic principle'. Although this is sometimes difficult to see, the substitution of economic values for Democratic values can result in the eventual transformation of Democracy into a Plutocracy. Money and economic success has no bearing on the basis of democratic values, viz. the Freedom and Equality of every individual. Democracy does not, and cannot, function on an economic or profit motive. The subtle substitution that only permits the wealthy or well-to-do to participate in political activity is harmful to democratic values. Freedom and equality are the only fundamental values of a democracy, otherwise we place money and possessions as a condition for being involved in politics. The economy in a democracy is important, but it can never be the driving force behind the political values of Freedom and Equality. The economy does not function on the basis of Freedom and Equality and Democracy does not function on the basis of profits and possessions. The principles underlying participation in political activity must recognize the Freedom and Equality of every individual, otherwise, we are just giving lip-service to Democracy, and practicing Plutocracy. That is not a 'democratic result'.
