It is easy to campaign against something. However it is a lot harder to campaign for something. The difficulty is that people have different ideas as to the shape the new will take. Often there will be disagreement, a need to compromise. Take a hypothetical case. A church campaigns with others against the closure of a delapidated community centre run by the church but owned by the local authority. The campaign is unsuccessful but the local authority is amenable to matchfund a new centre. A major source of funding is the Lottery. However the church is opposed to gambling. So the choices are:
refuse Lottery money and thus no centre
accept the money and have a new centre.
the church to withdraw entirely and leave the new centre entirely in the charge of others.
