  Radical middle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Various groups have adopted "radical middle" as a term to describe a third way philosophy which includes their belief that, in affirming the core principles involved on both sides of a dilemma, the dilemma or disagreement can be rendered moot.
The political application of radical middle philosophy is represented by a cluster of loosely related terms and movements: radical middle, radical centrist, responsive communitarian, third-way, etc. As a relatively grass-roots movement, especially in the United States, there is no definitive statement of radical middle politics.
While the term radical center has been used in various ways since at least the 1970s, it first had a major influence in the 1990s due to the Reform Party and Ross Perot, who were frequently described as representing the radical middle due to their attempts to partisanize those portions of the American electorate.

Under a radical president, it would very likely be the focal point for political and military assistance to the Communist narco-guerrillas in Colombia and to anti-democratic groups seeking to overturn potentially fragile democracies in Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru--not to mention neighboring Argentina, already in the grip of economic crisis.

 Radical
A radical politician is a politician whose views are far removed from the mainstream.
English Radicals derived much of their ideas from 'philosophical radicals', particularly John Stuart Mill who held that right actions were to be measured in proportion to the greatest good they achieved for the greatest number.
By the twentieth century at the latest, radicalism, which did not advocate particularly radical economic policies, had been overtaken as the principal ideology of the left by the growing popularity of socialism, and had become an essentially centrist political movement as far as "radicalism" survived as a distinct political ideology at all.

 radical centrist leaders Re: [RC] Teaching religion in schools?
However, I have come to believe that the best way for me to advance my ideals is to find a "powerful patron." That is, either an employer, sponsor, or promoter who will provide security, funding, and/or publicity for developing my general ideas in exchange for my specific assistance with their area of interest.
One option, of course, would be to become an advisor to a radical centrist politician, which aligns with Billy's modality.
The difference, perhaps, is that my actionable goal against that objective is to a) develop a public body of work (e.g., blogs, documents, and emails) and b) trust-based relationships with people of influence -- rather than (merely) waiting on divine providence.

 The poverty of electoral politics : SF Indymedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Even in the rare case when a “radical” politician has a realistic chance of winning an election, all the tedious campaign efforts of thousands of people may go down the drain in one day because of some trivial scandal discovered in his personal life, or because he inadvertently says something intelligent.
Nineteenth-century radical theorists could still see enough surviving remnants of traditional communal forms to suppose that, once the overarching exploitive structure was eliminated, they might be revived and expanded to form the foundation of a new society.
If they believe they are contributing to radical change, it may be useful to show them how their activity is actually reinforcing the system in some way.

 Mike Taylor - The Radical Christian
A radical change is one that comes from the root; a radical politician is one who wants to change the roots of the political system; and a radical Christian is one whose roots are in Christ.
A radical Christ hears the radical call of Jesus and obeys, not because he manages to persuade himself that it's the best thing, or out of a sense of duty, but because his root is in Christ and so following the call is the obvious, natural thing to do.
The number one characteristic of a radical Christian is that he or she loves God more than anyone or anything else.

 Edouard Herriot: Politician of the Golden Mean   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The politicians of the Golden Mean still flourish, although with increasing difficulty, in Britain and the U. But they, too, have arrived at the same impasse as their predecessors In France.
The difficulty, however, is that the Bourse’s politicians prefer to have their own administration once more, with Herriot a hostage as in 1926-1928, rather than a superarbiter vacillating between the interests of the big bourgeoisie and the illusions of the petty bourgeoisie, as in 1924 and in 1932.
Herriot’s Radicalism has nothing in common with the Mountain; it is the self-same Girondism, but a Girondism that passed through the fires of 1848 and 1871, and in them burned up the remnants of its illusions.

Italian politician, poet and dramatic author, was born at Milan on the 6th of November 1842.
Services rendered in the cholera epidemic of 1885, his numerous lawsuits and thirty-three duels, his bitter campaign against Crispi, and his championship of French interests, combined to enhance his notoriety and to increase his political influence.
He was killed on the 6th of March 1898 in a duel with Count Macola, editor of the conservative Gazetta di Venezia, whom he had assailed with characteristic intemperance of language.

 Plan Colombia and Beyond: The rise of Colombia's "democratic left"
They had been divided for many reasons: ideological disagreements (some are much more radical than others); origins (intellectuals versus working-class, for instance); degrees of pragmatism (willingness to work with the right and “traditional” politicians when necessary); and simple personal ambitions and personality clashes.
Navarro went on to be a well-regarded mayor of his home city of Pasto, then a senator; he was the second-highest vote-getter in the 2002 legislative elections (Colombia elects its senators on a national basis, not by department or region).
Considered the leader of the radical wing of the former PDI, Petro is a popular congressman from Bogotá – the top vote-getter in the lower house – and a former member of the M-19 guerrilla movement.

 J.2 What is direct action?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
It is not politicians or parties which are the problem, its a system which shapes them into its own image and marginalises and alienates people due to its hierarchical and centralised nature.
Therefore, given the need for radical systemic changes as soon as possible due to the exponentially accelerating crises of modern civilisation, working for gradual reforms within the electoral system must be seen as a potentially deadly tactical error.
And, as we argued in the previous section, radical parties are under pressure from economic and state bureaucracies that ensure that even a sincere radical party would be powerless to introduce significant reforms.

 Socialism or Social Democracy?
However, many radicals refuse to learn this lesson of history and keep trying to create a new party that will not repeat the saga of compromise and betrayal which all other radical parties have suffered.
It is a truism that elections empower the politicians and not the voters.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands - One of the most popular politicians in the Netherlands said Friday the country’s democracy is under threat and called for a five-year halt to non-Western immigration in the wake of the killing of a Dutch filmmaker by a suspected Muslim radical.
The most recent threats were disclosed when two terror suspects, arrested Nov. 10 after a standoff in which several policemen were wounded by a hand grenade, were charged with threatening Wilders and other politicians, their lawyer said.
He cited a report by Dutch intelligence saying recruitment for jihad, or holy war, is taking place in as many as 20 mosques in the Netherlands, and said they should be closed and their imams, or preachers, arrested and deported.
