I think it is very interesting that you think the lack of middle is the problem. From my left-leaning view, the middle is exactly the problem. E.g. "the third way" that the Democrats, Labour and SPD in Germany were following. Or Blair going into Iraq based on lies. The financial crisis. To me, all these are a result of the middle. The leftist parties didn't do what they were supposed to do - oppose wars, regulate economy to ensure stability and fairness. To me, the middle means that whatever we vote for, whoever is in charge, nothing really changes. Every time left parties manage to win an election, they start to compromise and don't actually do the things they promised. If the left is unhappy that everything is to right, and the right is unhappy that everything is to left and the middle thinks it doesn't even exist, then I don't know what the hell is broken. Modern governments just seem to fail at being a positive factor in peoples live. It's all crumbling, it's all cost overrun, it's all compromise that is worse than both competing ideas. I often feel like all the tings that were done during my parents time are just deemed impossible now. Like NASA used to be able to put people on the Moon, and now they don't even have a manned platform anymore.
