I was just discussing political parties with knirirr this morning - he has some interesting views. One I agree with is that there is no choice left in political parties anymore - the main three are selling themselves on being more centrist than the others, then all that's left are the people that rather sound like the Loony Fringe :-/ Centrism is all very well - I think I agree with you that there does need to be some sort of middle way - but this compromise on everything stance leaves it even more down to personalities than is has been - do I mistrust Blair, Howard, or Kennedy the least?
I know what you mean about human nature, though. Sometimes listening to politics makes me want to give up on life completely.
