Besides, as there are differing opinions on it: What is left, what is right, and what moderate ( in between )? According to official ( public ) outlay, actually conservative position would be moderate; shifting the hole spectrum to the right / consequently rendering philanthrops and democrats as leftist. With regard of empirics, I have been suspicious against authencity of elections already before the first case of local voting manipulation in a German constituency in the seventies that I was told of by a personal wittness. Another inconsistency being that the average person appears to be far more realistic than the cluelessness represented in official outcome of national elections, in which people appear to ever voluntarily vote for the very minorities that screw them. The only consistency between official interpretation and empirics that I can see is the indestructable faith into elections themselves. Indestructable faith, yet even after revealed circumstances like in the USA. According to the Los Angeles Times occurances in Florida like in the year 2000 would not be exeption but common. Just like in Alaska which according to official stats had 437 000 vote entitled individuals, while 20 000 more had been registered. In Indiana even official institutions themselves provided that 10% of the 3,38 mio registered voters won´t belong on the listing, for either being arrested, moved or passed away. Similar in Idaho, Oklahoma, Arizona, Texas, Utah and Wisconsin according to Aristotle at least 20% of the registered are actually not entitled voters. In 2000, when there was first postal election in Oregon, following a control study, more than 36 000 of 1,5 mio ball papers had not been filled and signed by the entitled persons. Not to go into diverse options of manipulation whether with prefilled ballot boxes, or prepared voting computers like of Nedap, Diebold, Sequoia etc. Anyway, without doubt the alleged political middle is being interpeted to the actually right and conserving cast of mind. And conclusively, more likely than not being that elections just as surveys are being regularly manipulated, presenting a skewed political landscape of the people to the people. Alone heaps of readers´ online posts of todays German paper´s "Die Zeit" after an article on chancellor Merkel´s suggestion to let banks voluntarily "participate" in counter balancing the broke in Greece, once again entirely contradict the alleged "political mid". The readers display how aware they are of the people´s drain off internationally, the industrial lobby reign, and do mock the flimsiness in Brussels, demanding that banks should not be financed by states budgets, and that the hoax and cockaigne of the rich and super rich shall be ended, finally. Of the many posts there was not one who would had fallen for the official smokescreen. Looks quite as we if we, the people, were being desinformed about our own understanding and political view. As if the dopey masses could be a much smaller fraction than made believe to the public / the understanding of the people actually being more developed than official records tell. Who knows what we´d see around us if the light was switched on. Ruphus
