I think being centre is good. We need to be socially liberal (after all if we weren't we wouldn't have the social programs that we rely on) and fiscally conservative (we can still have social programs with out spending too much...which means no more 12% raises for MPs, for example...which is also why I like the Green Party platform on healthcare. Stop spending money on treaments that we don't nee, ie. people running to the doctor for every sniffle, and start spending on preventative medicine... It's not just about the environment.)
I think in some respects we might have gone too far left, but I'll be damned if we go too far right and they start taking away my right to choose.
