People seem to think being a moderate means I'm always in the middle on every issue, like somehow I on the fence about guns and LGBT rights and uncertain about both..
No, It just means I am capable of seeing past dogma and accepting good principles no matter what side of the political fence it lies on. I can completely support gun rights AND completely support LGBT rights at the same time. Hell I say give all the LGBT members guns, they will probably be a lot safer for it.
@freemo that sounds more like "independent" than "moderate" to me. Being moderate has to do with avoiding extremes, while being independent has to do with having little loyalty to any particular party.
Then again, it's certainly possible usage in Holland doesn't quite line up with other regions.
@khird Also...
Independent suggests you are not a member of either party, you do not usually vote for either party, and usually vote for independent candidates (candidates that have no party or are a 3rd party).
Since I am registered with one of the main parties I am not considered a independent. though I sometimes do vote as one. But I am a moderate.
