re: #190 Naso Tang

on a national politcal level in the UK there are three parties in the Parliament of 650 seats.

Labour - 343
Tory - 159
Liberal Democrat - 63

(i know they don’t tally)

But - it is possible - Tory and Labour are almost clones of each other at this point in policy terms and the Lib-Dems (the most liberal and relatively left wing economically) pick up votes around the fringes and even have their own small heart land. But - the Lib-Dems in their current form are Splitters from the Labour Party in the mid-80s when it went too far left.

They typcially get a fifth of the national vote in elections. A sane centre-right party that split from the GOp with recognisable names and safe seats could form a basis of a power bloc in the House and Senate. They would only need a extra few seats overall taken in purple areas to demand a seat at the table over getting legislation passed if they were willing to work both sides of the Aisle
