So, the final phase will be between Greens and "progressive" centre-right... how boring and falsely modern... 
I think we both want this survivor to be interesting, the difference is that you think that having the "establishment" parties that we hear about in the news all the time and everyone knows it's history is interesting, while i think that eliminating early all the parties that always reach final rounds of survivors in favor of parties we actually have to read something about them and their history is more interesting 
Oh and welcome back 
Thanks.
I prefectly understand this viewpoint, but I must acknowledge I can't help comparing the 1880s-1890s-1900s for social democracy with the stupid 1990s-2000s for Greens or "social liberal" centre-right...and when I compare, I automatically choose
.
In fact, when I think about political parties, I think about established ones, that's true, but very long established ones.
See, I don't even whine when the UMP was ousted
: it didn't deserve to last long.
I also "like" parties with complicated histories and/or many wings, like the FN (yes, it was a bit early to oust it, though I HATE its current leader) or even the D66.
I think that what I dislike most is... "modernity"
and many Greens and "progressive" centre and right parties are "modern"
.
What I see coming doesn't please me and, whatever I can say, I'm still not accustomed to lose bad in survivors
. That may be another big reason
.
But with Antonio, maybe homely and Ben (though we have our differences), I still hope we can stop this trend
.
No, I don't have any hope as left/right divide will eventually kill my last favourites in the final stage...
