It might excite you but the voting public - the people that matter - disagrees.

So, the middle ground isn't rubbish. The middle ground gets political parties elected.
You're under the mistaken impression things never change. The middle ground might well suit you, I dare say you're comfortably off, but it doesn't suit everyone. I think after seeing just how ineffective, unscrupulous and destructive capitalism is for the lives of so many, an awful lot of particularly younger people will refuse to accept the propaganda were constantly fed. Having witnessed the failure of this right wing government they will be more likely to accelerate the process.
