What if people don't lean left or right but instead that there is only enough signal to noise in a group of 300 million people trying to make a decision to have a multiple choice answer of yes or no, more or less, yellow or green?
Under a system like that peoples natural tendency toward tribalism would cause them to group people under the two camps yellow or green, me and other. They might naturally assume that the other group just always vote other because they are the voters that vote other. The idea that it's actually a large group of people with diverse and changing opinions who vote of their own freewill rather than a loyalty to a colour is lost in the noise.
Thats my pet theory.
