The Liberals have moved quite Left over the last 20 years though....they used to straddle the centre much more....

But in fairness, the conservatives have moved right too so there is very little try centre party or politics anymore.

Check your math. I think that means the centre has moved. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 17, 14:23 11
- I think the centre is still where it always was but too often the main supporters of each party have drifted more left and right. - Walt_Disney Sep 17, 14:31 1
  - It’s definitely drifted socially and economically leftward. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Sep 17, 15:02
- (And the right has gone fringe) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 17, 14:24 8
  - I mean, PPC is super fringe. But CPC only seems a bit more polite, not a bit more centred. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 17, 14:39 7
    - The PPC will get a million votes on Monday. That’s fringe? Like, what do you want any Prime Minister to do to quell that anger? -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Sep 17, 15:02 6
      - At the core of the PPC, they want capitulation on any number of policies that are not only intolerable on their face but will cause people to die - Reagen Sep 17, 15:08 4
        
        We have to live with them though. What’s the strategy? It won’t conflict away. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Sep 17, 15:24 3
        
        I don't know how to argue with lunatics. -- nm - Reagen Sep 17, 15:35 2
        
        So, wouldn’t that logically lead to, “Can’t argue with them. Need a new approach.”? -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Sep 17, 15:42 1
        
        Possibly? But policy concessions are non-negotiable to them. -- nm - Reagen Sep 17, 15:49
      - 5% is fringe though. The way the Greens are fringe. -- nm - Roger More Sep 17, 15:08
