General Politics Discussion

And yet left-leaning parties keep on trying to find the center and not really succeeding for the most part. The examples that I'll cite are the US Democrats and the NZ Labour Party...

Hard to tell if it's a backlash against centrism, or just an anti-incumbent trend across the whole western world.

I think it's pretty clear that neo-liberalism/neo-conservatism is failing pretty hard right now. It's not just incumbents, populism is rising, because a lot of things are going wrong.

I think that coincides with other trends as well, but I don't think it's particularly controversial.

(And by the way, anyone who thinks, Trump/Poilievre aren't neo-conservatives are fooling themselves).
