So to win an election the goal is to be the second best option. So what does this do to how parties campaign? Anything that could cause people to be against you you eliminate.

Yes. I know you think it's the "mushy middle" but having strong, partisan leaders is not as valuable as having smart, moderate leaders.

There is a high value in a system that rewards moderate government and working together. Solely my opinion, but I see no value in strong leaders that sit on one side or the other. I'd like to know why they interest you though, for some perspective.
