The Moderate Party

[Napoleon]

So what is the difference between you and the Liberal Party? 

A name. Join the Liberal Party!

The Moderates seem to be to the right of the Liberals economically.

I don't reach that conclusion.

From what I can tell, there are those who have personal problems with members of the Liberal Party who are unwilling to man up and put them aside; and so want to join an identical party that does not have the person or persons they dislike.

Or, the three of us are cautious of joining a party that has grown so large over-night.  I may still join the party, but I'd like to see how the parties play out for a few days.  Of course, campaign donations and gifts (off the record, obviously) might convince me.  

I would make that nifty $500,000 donation, but I think I dropped the briefcase I was carrying it in somewhere in your office.

But, is 13 members large? I don't think so.

I can't speak for the others, but personality is never the only reason for a decision.  Cinci's rights, I hope we don't end up with two large parties.  As I have stated before, and as Bgwah has stated before, the ideal system would be a far left, far right, center right, center left, and maybe a libertarian party.  I see the Liberals as the center left and am hoping this party can be the center right.

Additionally, while the platform of the Liberals appears fairly centered, I feel it is a bit too to the left for me.  I was a former DAer and am alum of the Duke wing of the RPP, so while I am center on many issues, economically I am right.  Quite frankly, the Liberals do not seem to be a good fit for me.  This does and I hope it survives.

I'm afraid that will result in essentially the same old JCP vs RPP but with new names. Center left and left would work together and the center right and right would work together and we are left with the same thing we tried to move on from.

I think the POP is the larger Libertarian Party. Don't forget bgwah's Green Party, the ELF!

[Napoleon]

Is this party already dead? 

Not sure it was ever alive. Join the Liberal Party.
