I have many friends and acquaintances who identify with the ‘centre’ in politics. I’m genuinely interested to hear of policies that would count as ‘centre’ policies. Specifics always tell the real story. Interested because not only do I think the centre is a myth, but the use of the term is actually condescending, as if centrists are somehow more reasonable than their excitable fellow citizens who identify with a ‘side’. Everything is a side, there is no fence-sitting alternative.
