Pretty much
How things are presently politicians pander to the east because that is what makes or breaks the election for them. Unfortunately the wants/needs/opinions of east and west are very different at this time and basically in conflict. It’s going to be tough for a politician who supports the views of the west to win a federal majority theses days
