The Radical Center: The Third Rising?
Radical Center: The Rising Third Party
Article by Richard K.
It’s no secret that most Americans, the state blue or red, are still unhappy with the tone of politics and hypocrisy resulting two-party system. It seems that our cries and sounds for change and reform of political partisanship come from anywhere that is not in power. Then, magically – as always – these calls rampant dissipate quickly once they are forced to choose sides in the same age. “Republican or Democrat, or choose more than two evils will win?” While we continue to be spoon-fed the same buzzwords, buzzwords and premature polls every election cycle, why do not we just never work up the will and courage to force a third option seriously enough to achieve the change really want? If you ask for more conservative or more liberal government is not really the case. What we continue to see is the oscillation of worn-out ideas and empty promises, despite our disgust with the two-party oligopoly that we ourselves are guilty of propping it up. Since we’re apparently so ideologically polarized as a nation (the idea is overfed to the media as propaganda) and then unite in the cause of real change and real? Common ground is the answer, not commitment. This is a development platform for something that emerges through the width between two parties, the independent self-proclaimed – Radical Center. The thought that the change we all want and in common, despite our political differences, can be found to embrace a moderate movement that could compete in our game for two players is promising? Perhaps one of the Stanford University political science professor, said it best: “If competition is good for our economy because it is not good for our politics?” Perhaps this crazy idea will stimulate impulse from the progressive-libertarian alliance recently, which was led by Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) and Ralph Nader. Both last for president multiple times in the past, are still ideologically opposed in the traditional sense since Nader’s Green Party and Paul is the Libertarian bent. Although they found common ground with this new alliance is in the majority of Americans are supporting both politicians always seem to be asking. Both believe the government should not be in the back pocket of special interests of companies that abuse their financial strength to gain power with the fascist-type political sector. Moreover, these two very different political principles agreed to cut military spending, ending the conflicts abroad, get rid of the Patriot Act unconstitutional, and not part of NAFTA. Among others, the premise of the unbridled power and irresponsibility of the Federal Reserve (which is not federal or government) is that both Nader and Paul agreed to be monitored closely and reigned. All these movements are called common mentioned that most Americans share about how they see the government. This progressive-libertarian alliance proposal may be exactly the kind of radical centrism necessary to stimulate a real movement of the third party in 2012 or later, because it emphasizes common ground arrangements from different points of view that many Americans share and also our desire to watch two parties, but continue to ignore. At least potentially, this alliance can help in generating an open dialogue between Americans and independents on a common ground where it can be done by keeping our entrenched political positions. But let’s not get too hopeful, is a centrist revolution was what you were looking for. From a survey conducted in January 14 to 16 by Public Policy Polling, which may not seem as if America is ready to except a third-party movement yet. Despite the popularity of the Tea Party to generate passion about government reform, only 37% were open to the idea of a legitimate third party candidate. This 37% was divided between 14% and 29% only the third vote for this if it were for any one candidate too liberal or conservative based on their own personal beliefs. In addition, almost half of that 37% would actually support a centrist third. Read more at:
