"In politics, a moderate is an individual who holds an intermediate position between those generally classified as being left-wing, liberal, or socialist and those seen as right-wing, conservative, or capitalist. An alternate definition, and one widely held among swing voters, is that a moderate is one who has firm convictions on all issues, yet some convictions fall just to the left of the spectrum and some fall just to the right.
Political moderates usually seek conciliation between the views of various political parties, and often take positions partially derived from opposite views." -Wikipedia *ahem* Thanks, Wiki!

We made up our mind about not dividing our loyalties to any specific party and are forced to align ourselves with those who are more extreme than us.
Though it looks a position of "no position" to others, it is a position of those who are not ruled by the certitude (or should I say dogmatism) of the left and right, one that is never complacent. This is not to say that we support moderation in principle, but that our principles are not anchored to any party's predetermined policies. And, of course, what Michael said as well. |
