Good Morning, Kristofer
re: "You may say that parties, wanting to be re-elected, would
stay in center ..."
I think parties are more inclined to keep one foot in the center while
stretching as far as they can toward the extreme with the other. That's
why we so often hear that the 'neoconservatives' have taken control of
this party or the 'ultraliberals' have taken control of that party.
The stretch toward extremism to attract the more radical constituencies
is the dynamic that causes the lurching we experience.
