An anti-centerist arguement. Its from the rights perspective but it can be turned around and applied from the left as well. There is often value in seekin consensus or seeking the center, but not always -

"Mark Steyn on the British elections:

[S]uccessful conservatives don't move towards the 'political centre'. They move the political centre towards them. That's what Thatcher and Reagan both did. Whereas if you move towards the political centre, all you do is move the centre. If Labour is at 1 on the scale and the Tories are at 9, and their focus groups tell them to move to 5, they have ensured that henceforth the centre will be 3, and they'll be fighting entirely on the Left's terms and the Left's issues. . . ."
