The Disappearing Middle

The politics of other states can be a useful foil for our own concerns. This week we speak to Washington DC based journalist and the founder of the Centrist Project about where the US is headed in the run up to the November mid-term elections. This is the preface to a group trying to find a middle-ground: “Both major political parties have made promises to their most extreme members, promises that are incompatible with solving our biggest challenges … So while you may be at home in one party or the other, you have to wonder — Why don't we take the best of each party, and discard some of the things we know just don’t make that much sense?” Could we do that?
