Certainly they would be muchly hard-pressed to find something wrong with a smart and well-educated female centrist.
The Liberals would be cooked.
Centrist isn’t a position. It’s a “pox on both houses” that defines itself by rejecting everything else. We don’t need centrists. We need centrists in politics. We need people with principles who stand for something. I don’t even care if I’m personally opposed to what they stand for but centrism is the consequence of intellectual laziness. People need to take some responsibility for their stances and stop riding fences.
