Hmm... I'm pretty much in the middle of the Democratic party, so the center-left party would consist of left-wing Democrats, and maybe a few socialists (let's call them the Social Democrats). The center-right party would be about where the current party split is, and would be composed of people like John Huntsman, Joe Manchin, Lisa Murkowski, and Colin Powell (this will be the Liberal Party). Since I believe in a Bundestag-style electoral system, there would probably also be a stronger Green Party and a strong Libertarian Party, while most of the current Republican views would be pushed into a far-right nationalist party (American Heritage Party?), with very little national representation, but maybe some stronger support regionally.

On the issues, gay marriage would be legal nation-wide and accepted by practically all but a fringe group in the American Heritage Party. Abortion would be legal on-demand nationwide, although the amount which states and the federal government are allowed to regulate late-term abortions would be a hotly contested issue in Liberal Party politics. A large majority of the country would identify as "feminist." Guns would be legal, although they would not be protected constitutionally. The Greens and the left wing of the Social Democratic party would be advocating an outright ban on all guns, while centrists would be looking at limiting ammunition purchases and banning all semi-automatic weapons for non-military use. The death penalty would be hotly debated nation-wide.

Foreign aid would be dramatically increased, and the military much smaller. The Social Democratic party would be largely pacifist, but would still generally support authorization of force resolutions if they had the support of the UN. The Liberal Party would be more hawkish. A large portion of the Social Democrats would be looking to distance the US from Israel and support Palestine, but it would be difficult to get any but the most watered-down bill through. A sizeable faction of the Social Democrats would be looking to establish an EU-style North American Union or even full integration with Canada, while most of Congress would be pushing for a Schengen Area-style treaty for the US and Canada.

The US would have minimal restrictions on immigration, and no national language. The left-wing would be pushing for a fully open border policy.

Here's the legislature:


The Green Left - Pacifist, ultra-environmentalist, pro-social justice, Trotskyist, anti-gun, supports open border policy and integration with Canada
The Social Democrats - Feminism, environmentalism, egalitarianism, pro-social justice, dovish, pro-union supports Schengen Area-style treaty with Canada, anti-death penalty, pro-fair trade
          The Progressive Caucus Pro-Palestine, anti-gun, supports elimination of all nuclear weapons and the establishment of a North American Union
Libertarians - Support individual autonomy, devolution of government to regional authorities, privatization, capitalism
Liberal Party - Keynesian capitalists, foreign policy realists, moderately hawkish, pro-Israel, against integration with Canada, supports modest regulations on abortion and subsidizing private industry to promote alternate energies and new technologies, pro-death penalty, pro-free trade
American Heritage Party - Protectionist, conservative, anti-union, religious, anti-egalitarianism
