>Is possible in your scheme for there to be centrist populists?
why on earth should we call something centrist? what on earth could that possibly mean? the best shot you give, below, is that they are against the two parties. well, that makes them *for* nothing actually so centrism is what? nothing?
the use of the word "centrist" is a cop out by people who are ashamed for one reason or another to identify with this or that policy.

that doesn't make them "centrist" which is a label that has to be the most vapid label i've read in a long time.
