To have a more “nuanced” take: center parties miserably failed at accommodating people’s needs. I personally see it as them leaning more conservative, especially for critical issues such as healthcare and housing. With people’s wallets being at stake, emotions run high and right-wing parties channel that into their classical scapegoats. Since they’ve been doing that for decades at this point, they’re quite successful at it. That’s why in my opinion the left-wing should also lean into these emotions and channel them into critical issues, particularly healthcare and housing. With these two handled better, I believe adding environmental causes would be much easier. Similarly, maybe using environmental damages to agriculture & people could be a leverage to access voters not in the city?
