The British Liberal Democrats, for example, have tried for decades to become a strong centrist third party, without success. While the political vocabulary in the United States is different, the Democratic Party, since Franklin Roosevelt’s presidency, is indeed a center-left force, the Republican Party occupies the right, and no other significant party exists.
比如，英国自由民主党几十年来都在寻求成为强大的中间派第三大当，但从未成功。尽管美国的政治观念有所不同，但民主党自富兰克林·罗斯福以来便是事实上的中左派，而共和党代表右翼，此外再无第三个主要党派出现。
