[QUOTE]Originally posted by Neutrino 123: [QB] A more centrist party would probably do quite well if it was signifigant enough to be seriously considered. However, one thing to consider is that not all centrists are 'moderate' on all issues. Someone (such as myself :) ) might fall roughly in the center of the political spectrum, but have rather non-moderate views on many issues, and sometimes those views may be different then both liberal and conservative positions. Thus, a centrist candidate could easily end up alienating a large number of centrists, even if they are at the same point in the political spectrum. As for selecting politicians to vote for, there are more problems then just having nothing but bad choices. Even with bad choices, a well-informed person could simply choose then better, even if all the politicians stink on an absolute scale. A problem I had in the last major election, though, was a LACK of information about the people I was voting for. The presidential candidates usually have much information avalible, but there are a whole bunch of other people to vote for as well. I was able to find a good internet site at http://www.ontheissues.org that contains a good amount of information on most of the candidates. It also has a quiz/evaluation thing that is a useful indicator of where you fall on the political plane (it uses a 2D method for social and economic policies). It has this for all the candidates as well. I'm not affiliated with the site, so sorry if this sounds like an advertisment! :cool: [/QB][/QUOTE]
