That's the whole issue. In the duopoly, we have a conservative party and a centrist party.

Not too likely, and anyway, I'll cross that bridge if/when we get to it.Gadflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13075757287807731373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7532871.post-15162161596086892642011-10-17T23:46:10.467-05:002011-10-17T23:46:10.467-05:003rd party progressivism?
