Extremistical voters (communists, economic libertarians, 
green-socialists, nazis, anarchists - whatever) will not (never) support 
a party wich say yes/no to their main point. If the PP will say "we 
don´t want communism" then a communist will not vote pp but a communist 
party.

AND someone wich has the "extremistic" point of view of the PP´s will 
say "yes" to the PP... and it does not matter what they say about 
communism. Even.... this is (as a logical conclusion) the point of view 
of the C)-Fraction here in the PP (not really my... and that´s the 
point! Difficult to understand but true.).

Then it is easy for you to explain this logical in your terms. :)

If they wake up a morning and have a look at a newspaper - suprisingly 
finding an article in it explaining them that they votet for anarchists 
or communists or nazis.

A single point as "minimum wages of 8Euro per hour for all workers" you 
may find at socialists, communists, nazis, green, or other "normal" 
parties programs (maybe all without libertarians - even as 
neoliberalism/Müller Armack includes minimum wages also... but the time 
has no memory). It´s nearly "neutral" spoken in "politically parties".

It becomes only then a "direction" if you can place it into in a greater 
context, a vision. But at that time a party or even a member of 
parliament has to decide about issues wich are *not* "neutral" you get 
it anyway.

No - this ist not answer A). Answer A) is a clear "no" on a single 
issue. Answer D) is an explanation of a vision, open for every "yes" and 
"no" on the way to reach this vision. It is a: "we will try for tomorrow 
- maybe we have to decide today for a nuclear plant... but we will work 
hard for not to have to and find a way". This is "not extremistic" but a 
realistic WAY - into a *clear* future. It´s makes a definition of the 
future and does *not* absolutely define the way. Extremists prefere to 
define the (extremistic) way *without compromises* and a perhaps also 
extremistic future like "no nuclear plants at any time - doesn´t matter 
what we have to do or to immolate today or tomorrow for reaching this goal".

Your opinion on that doesn´t matter more than the opinion of any idiot. 
Nuclear power is here just an example for every possible issue.

If this would be true you would not like to form an aim like anarchism.
