Centrism is of course an ideology, and the 'pragmatic', 'grown up' centrists I encounter here on Twitter are often among the most fervent ideologues there are. @graceblakeley explores the contradictions of liberalism here: tribunemag.co.uk/2024/04/libera…
@EthicalRenewal @graceblakeley May I offer that when you compare Starmer's liberal centrism to Lib Dems' liberal centrism you see it's not, in fact, liberal at all but authoritarian, and thus right-wing populist not centrist, nor evidence-based, for if it was it wouldn't rule out rejoining the single market.
@JohnHol32019188 @graceblakeley Very good point, John. Starmer's populist centrism is right-of-centre and doesn't give a damn about evidence. His anti-left, pro-establishment ideology doesn't give a damn about facts or even about what works.
