I said TRADITIONALLY CENTERIST.
Think about what that means before you bash at the keyboard for a moment.............
Now think back to say the 1980's or so, what was the political landscape like back then? Do you think people have moved more to the right or left since? Now do you get it? are you sure?
I haven't changed my politics in 30 years, it's everyone else, including you and neckbeard, have gone massively to the left. What was centerist, say in the 1980's, is now far right - get it now?
You've not grasped what I was meant, instead of trying to understand anothers' point of view you went off the deep end.
There is no point in voting, it's the illusion of democracy, once you get a few more years you'll see what I mean.
Don't be a patronising prat. It doesn't help your cause.
I lived through the 70s and 80s thanks. Politics isn't that different. You had centre/left = Labour, centre/right Tories. Lib Dems/Liberals were somewhere in the middle, the Socialist Workers on the far left and BNP and the like on the far right. Society has changed in 30 years as you'd hope. Society is constantly changing which overall is a good thing. Maybe you are just stuck in the past?
I do think our electoral system needs to change. First past the post isn't very democratic. I would certainly support a different system even though it would mean you'd get a few nuts on the extreme left and right getting seats but thats democracy for you.
