Political thinking
Canvasser for Liberal Party: "Will you support the Liberals this time?"
Welsh Mathematician: "No that is impossible. In the past the Liberal
Party occupied a position between the left wing of the Conservative Party and
the right wing of the Labour Party.
Then the left wing of the Conservative Party moved further left and the right
wing of the Labour Party moved further right, so the Liberal Party was squeezed
out until ultimately it had to perform the difficult task of inserting itself
between two coincident points.
Since the Conservatives went on moving left and the Labour Party went on moving
right the Liberals now occupy what is mathematically an imaginary point in space.
How can I vote for an imaginary party?
