But, i don't hate your hate on us centralists, i just think you have your team, and don't understand "drifters"?
You know i have a lot of respect for you. Honestly, if there was NO ONE in the middle, this country would be ****ed!

I disagree with you but as you're a dude, it's not an issue, my brother
Seriously. I've written enough on centrism already. there is loads more I could write, but I think the forum might explode if I do.
What put us on to a path was post war socialism. That's just a fact. Now, if socialism had been in charge of the country for 50 years, then human nature and corruption would have taken over, and it would have failed. However, right wing neoliberalism has been in charge for 50 years, and it has failed. No one thinks this country is in a healthy state at the moment, and yet right wing neoliberalism can't survive on the right alone, it needed the centre, whether that's Blairs (a thatcher acolyte) version of neoliberalism (more centrist, and better, actually - but not good enough), or Camerons/Johnsons, right through to truss' libertarian version.
None of this would have been possible without the centre ground.
Now after 50 years of this, absolutely no change is on offer, only more of the exact same thing, only this time with a different colour rosette. For this to keep happening, then centrists need to have been on board and whether that's knowingly or unwittingly the results are the same.
Centrist labour members were awarded peerages by Johnsons tory party for working against labour with false smears. When centrists have the choice of left or right, they invariably, and provably go right. Now that's ok if that's what people believe, but to pretend that isn't actually the case is not a position based in reality.
