Listening to a political chat with Sean Plunket and Chris Trotter turned out to be a revealing experience. Chris Trotter is one of the few people on the left of the political spectrum I have time for. His replies to questions are measured and honest. If you listen to him you get a pretty realistic view as to where things are at politically in this country.
He made some interesting points, and one in particular was like a bit of a bolt from the blue. Chris is of the opinion that politics has become increasingly polarised, but what really hit me was when he said that as a result THERE IS NO MIDDLE GROUND. This statement had me sitting up thinking. It was a proposition that had not occurred to me.
