A catch-all party would probably be too broad in its policies and probably wouldn't have concrete and substantial views and principles. Also with such a broad church, it would make in-fighting much more likely

in a two party system if both sides try to become catch-all parties then they become too similar and little change can occur

A catch-all party would be successful in getting elected, but inefficient as it does not stand for anything

Depends at what stage you are as a party: do you need voters, or specialists for policy proposals?

In the short term maybe it could be good to keep the opposing party out in a two party system, but the long term affects could lead to a collapse of democracy entirely. The catch-all party loses its ideological stance and representation qualities which is bad. In the future they wouldn't be voted in again especially if voters become disenfranchised with the system.

Catch all can ultimately defeat the purpose of the particular party - if there's a variety of views in a party then surely the initial aims will become less strong and more diluted and lose their way as the strength of opinions will be weaker and more varied. It'll be difficult to come to a solution as there's too much variation in views.

Better to have parties which are ideologically different, so that voters have more choice.

However, if a party adopts catch all policies they are more likely to be successful.

yes for catch-all party because includes a larger part of the population, hence sense of belonging

Its hard to say because the encouragement for a catch-all party can increase short  term voters but in the long term cause the depreciation of voters. So if we needed a election push to ensure victory it is suggestible but it is not a long term guarantee for securing votes.
