It's interesting to see the parallel between the UK and the US.
Conservatives: In power & an idiot leader
Progressives: Many factions with scary "socialism" as a tag.
Moderates: Neither of the above represent them!

And in the UK, an unpopular "opposition leader" at the helm scaring away
the moderates. US does not have the same concept of the opposition leader.
But then we have a huge number of opposition candidates many of whom might
scare away moderate voters.

Disaster!
