"Do you not understand that there is a middle ground where I and most of the population stand?"

This is a constant tactic of Keith's, aligning himself with the safe mainstream masses. In fact, he uses mainstream quite a lot. His attitudes to Israel, immigration, at least one ethnic minority in this country and his defence of Tory politicians are, er, just a tiny giveaway, huh? As for left-right displaying a bell curve, well you have a big uphill struggle there, your biggest hurdle being to define your terms. I look forward with interest to hearing your more detailed take on your, er, reasonable assumption.
