    Centrism is what gets large numbers of votes.

    Obviously I hope that they’ll do well and make good decisions, but in a choice between a left-wing party that makes a principled stand but fails to secure power and a more centrist one that has more good ideas than bad on balance and does secure power to implement them I think the latter is preferable.

      You want to be like America? Because a two party system where the right party keeps going right and the left party, which is already right of centre, follows them to court their voters is how we get there.

      We have two parties. One getting more and more extreme and one that’s letting them, just like in America. People are severely underestimating how dangerous this is and if you’ve paid any attention whatsoever over the last decade and a half is should be painfully obvious that we are actually tied to America by outside influences and that connection is slowly pulling us off the fascist cliff after them.
