What is the ‘centre ground’?

from Rock & Roll Politics with Steve Richards

The Observer columnist Philip Collins argues that the future lies on the “centre ground” which he defines as spanning the Cameron government to Blairite Labour. But at a time when voters are impatient for sweeping change, is that outdated, misleading definition a guide for any party or leader/potential leader? And why does a more precise topical definition matter? Plus your thoughts on Michael Gove and Ed Milliband… and of course Iran.To join the never ending debate in the RocknRoll Politics podcast email [email protected] tickets here for the York Book Festival with Steve Richards and Alan Johnson on Tuesday Mar 26th.Rock & Roll Politics is at the Cambridge Literary Festival on Saturday April 25th.And you can get your tickets for Rock & Roll Politics: The Election Special, at Kings Place on Monday May 11th here.Subscribe to Patreon for live events, bonus podcasts and to get the regular podcast a day early and ad free. Written and presented by Steve Richards.
