 | | The decision to establish a centrist party is aimed at giving the most effective support for the Russian president's policy, the Unity Party said in an address to its members and supporters. |  | | The establishment of a unified centrist party will help change the whole of Russia for the better, the leader of the Unity Party and Minister for Emergency Situations, Sergei Shoigu, said in his report to the party's congress, which opened in Moscow on Saturday. |  | | The delegates decided to organize the second stage of the unifying congress at the beginning of December, when the united centrist party is to be created. |

 | | On abortion, a centrist might aggressively try to reduce the number of abortions via social (reducing poverty) and educational (sex education that emphasizes abstinence yet at the same time provides accurate and comprehensive discussion of birth control) means while at the same time vigorously opposing the illegalization of abortion. |  | | Lincoln, as a member of the recently formed 3rd party, the Republican Party, was not a centrist. |  | | Politics, and the need for political power, drove Lincoln and the Republican party to be founded and to win, not the desire to be a bridge between warring parties. |

| | Judges - “Centrist” in Liberalspeak [Free Republic] |
 | | As one Clinton "centrist" nominee said to a female prosecutor appearing in her courtroom: "Shut your f***ing mouth." Another lawyer received this admonition from the centrist judge: "I don't give a s**t." That was the Criminal's Messiah: Judge Frederica A. Massiah-Jackson of the Philadelphia Common Pleas Court. |  | | When the D.A. noted that the enhancement was required, the centrist judge accused her of being "vindictive." Massiah-Jackson was reversed on appeal for ignoring the enhancement. |  | | The New York Times has demanded that Senate Democrats block Bush's "judicial ideologues," whom, the Times predicts, will compare unfavorably to "Clinton's centrist judicial choices." |

| | The Lonely Centrist |
 | | Their basic thesis is that the number of solidly conservative Republican voters is substantially larger that the reliably Democratic liberal voter base. |  | | William A. Galston and Elaine C. Kamarck, a couple of old Clintonite Intellectuals, argue that the Democratic base - unlike the Republican base - is too small to win elections alone, and that the rising number of Hispanic voters will not change that fact. |  | | But I can't help but note that Australia and the United States are two of the more religious countries in the West; and the U.S., Australia, India, Great Britain and even Canada are more conservative, politically, than most of the West European nations - which is really to say that all have rather moderate politics. |

| | Centrism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | This may have contributed to the controversial outcome of the 2000 U.S. presidential election in the United States (admittedly aggravated by political polarization among voters, a fairly different phenomenon). |  | | For example, candidates using centrist politics to gain wider appeal risk losing support from the more idealistic members of their political parties. |  | | For instance, the Independent Labour Party was seen as revolutionarily centrist because they were a radical formation moving towards a revolutionary position and had the potential to become a full fledged revolutionary party or at least have a large number of their members move towards an openly revolutionary position. |
