centrist
CENTRISTS espouse a "
middle ground" regarding government control of the economy and personal behavior. Depending on the issue, they sometimes favor
government intervention and sometimes support individual freedom of choice. Centrists pride themselves on keeping an
open mind, tend to oppose "political extremes," and emphasize what they describe as "practical" solutions to problems.

A political ideology that falls directly in between the left and right political extremes.
Centrist ideology stresses practical and realistic solutions without the partisan problems associated with solutions from Republicans, Democrats,
Libertarians and others. Centrists also believe that the government serves as a means to keep individual
liberties in check. Centrists, however, are not a mixture and ideological stances from left and right.
Example:
A centrist might say:
"Abortion is a decision between a mother and her doctor, however, abortion should not be available all the time."
or
"To save
social security,
privatization of a
small portion of it via market investment may help. The option to invest a portion of retirement savings should exist for individuals."

Example:
I am a centrist. I am a vegetarian who doesn't like
left-wing liberals and I am married and have kids and live in a small town in a
Western state, but I don't like
right wing conservatives.

A person who agrees with some of
right wing and
left wing ideologies - completely agreeing with neither of the ideologies. They aren't exactly the "
middle ground", rather combination of both.

You can see that somebody is a
centrist by the size of his
dong, his believes are very
based and his knowledge is big.
