Ozy, an on-line international magazine, has this story about the Centrist Project, with a focus on Maine and Colorado.
Mainstream media is interested in the Centrist Project’s 2018 independent candidates, because of the perception that the Donald Trump presidency is weighing down the popularity of the Republican Party, and yet the dissatisfaction does not seem to translate automatically to support for the Democratic Party.
The mainstream media perception may be unfair to the nation’s other nationally-organized parties, especially the Libertarian Party and the Green Party. It will be important to watch whether the Centrist Project can really recruit a sizeable number of high-qualify independent candidates for 2018.
The Centrist Project is doomed to failure along with the Green and Libertarian status quo, because they are all pluralistic groups with division embedded in their message.
Only by being inclusive, by bringing equal treatment, equal time and pure proportional representation will any third party or Independent group have a chance to survive.
When their message is about how they alone are better than all others, they will not be able to build the confidence of the 100% and so the existing plurality psychological momentum will overwhelm them at election time.
Are you interested in a unifying voting system that all parties and independents support known as pure proportional representation (PR)?
The new United Coalition has been using pure proportional representation for more than twenty-two consecutive years and it works fine.
Every year we must practice, practice, practice … continual repetition, repetition, repetition … the team, the team, the TEAM.
