    I think this in no small degree because we have been clinging to party structures that are utterly unfit for the purpose. We've been hammering the square pegs of right/left party divisions into the round holes of modern politics and it's left us all rather schizoid.

    In fact, the really interesting thing about politics is that the average voter is simultaneously far to the left AND far to the right of mainstream politics. We've tried to apply the sticking plaster of centrism to this gaping wound, but it's just not going to hold much longer.

    Our party divide never Worked with regard to the EU which is largely why it was kept off the agenda for so long.

    Both major parties have been led from their respective centres for nearly a century, barThatcher, and now Corbyn. I think it works in the main but leans towards consistency and stability. It doesnt facilitate anything resembling major change.
