A Very interesting op-ed from former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
He is very correct that the goal of Centrist Progressives is to refine their program so that it appeals to the groups that find both right wing and left wing populism appetizing. There is a lot that a slightly left of the center progressive party can do to sway disillusioned masses away from the quick fix slogans of populism which may turn unnecessarily inward and in the right wings case alienate minority groups. People just need to take a breath and reject the false prophets in these extreme circles and research the positive attributes of progressivism.
