“Floating” on the political spectrum...

If you have an extremist political orientation, left or right, chances are you won't be convinced of anything other than what you're convinced of. You fall into – what I would term is - a steady supporter of the extreme wing of political thinking.

The rest of us “float” or “bounce” back and forth in this indescribable zone that is influenced by the slogans of the day or the most compelling case that catches our values, our social position or our aspirations at the time. That large group of people is the one in fact that politicians should address well, but generally fail to understand and of course, speak to in terms that touch us.

The end result is that we are drifting away from that political connection and are feeling increasingly cynical when the “extreme” speak to us. It feels more like harassment than conversation and that's what we're tired of that...
