While I've no problem with Ben joining the UAC (unlike most of them he *is* actually a centrist and I hope he steers it in that direction and away from the naked power grab demonstrated by many of it's members), however I feel it would have been more appropriate if he had resigned his post as AFDNC chair *before* he joined the UAC.
He did, he handed his resignation officially to the President last night and only announced it here afterwards.
Most of us are centrists actually, you will find very few who aren't, I suppose ILikeVerin isn't one, nor is Brambila but they are in the minority.
1) Good

KEmperor isn't... unless the word "centrist" has been inverted in some way...
Not Economically, he is socially moderate though, i think around a -0.9 or something on political compass however he is rather economically right minded, I think around a 6ish on politcal compass.

His views on healthcare etc are actually extremist.
Perhaps by socialist European standards, but in America opposition to a government run universal health care system is pretty mainstream.
