Why? A left vote is worth 1 (because they wouldn't have otherwise voted right), a centre vote is worth 2 (because it's also a vote away from the other party). So it doesn't matter how many on the left "show up" their votes simply aren't worth as much as centre voters.
That's the argument given. Centre votes are worth double. The corollary is that they'll always be the target demographic.
Yeah same thing as the other message. You're constructing a narrow path of interpretation when it's really quite simple. Do they win? Do they lose? Anyway, it was explained in my other reply.
