 New Party
And building a party of that sort we judge to be best done outside the shell of the old." In New York, however, the NP is knocking hard on the shell of the old.
Though there may be some good Democrats here and there, the party itself is an institutional obstacle to, not a potential ally for, progressive politics in the U.S. Even a critical distance is too close a relationship for a potential New Party to assume.
New Partisans Joel Rogers and Sandy Pope wrote in The Nation a year ago that the organization was meant to be no mere electoral vehicle, but a mechanism for rethinking basic social institutions like "family, firm, and state."

While, for the most part, the state party goes along with the national committee’s platform, it tends to support policies that are somewhat more to the left of mainstream Democratic politics since its main source of support is in New York City, where there is a strong demand for more liberal policies.
With regard to foreign policy, the New York Democrats stand with the national party in its belief in using military expansion as a means of supporting domestic economic needs and in employing active diplomacy and strong alliances to maintain peace and democracy.
Finally, the party takes a strong stance on environmental issues and holds that the government should be responsible for instituting and enforcing environmental and health protection laws.

They, and their campaign, quickly became known as the "Clean Hands," both because of their reputation for incorruptibility and their independence from the patronage machines of the ruling political parties.
The Christian Democratic Party -- the leading partner in nearly all of Italy's revolving door governments since World War II -- was destroyed, as was the almost equally corrupt Socialist Party.
Indeed, the more accurate U.S. analog to Clean Hands may not be the current scandals, but the Watergate Era and the brief period of political change it produced -- an upheaval that ultimately boomeranged to the benefit of the conservatives and the corporations.
