Situation: there are 3 competing centrist parties Tony Blair: 3?! Ridiculous! We need to develop one universal centrist party that covers everyone's use cases. New situation: there are 4 competing centrist parties

Pistol_Pete posted:It's crazy how these people continue to resolutely believe that what the UK electorate really wants is Grown-up, Sensible Centrism, despite 100% of the evidence pointing to the opposite. They aren't doing this to get votes, but to grift donations, NGO chairmanships and paid speaker engagements from the small bubble of people who genuinely believe that what the UK electorate really wants is Grown-up, Sensible Centrism.

Oh. I have been informed that he will not, in fact, do that

Daddy set up the dynasty and marine was second by being the competent daughter, her sister would cheerfully step up. Or it'll just be zenmour. Or maybe some new face of the far right. France isn't short of options and Macron is deeply hated by everyone that isn't voting for him

The French president is not as clever as he thinks he is. He is selfish; he is arrogant; he believes himself the center of the world. And yet, he may well become great.

Let's be real here, Macron is just going to enact all of the Front National's deranged racist bullshit as an apology for losing supporters to them, while ignoring their vague mumblings about more equitable economics. The 'centre' is not a fixed position, and the far right is the most powerful and socially-acceptable driver of
