[hwaxanxg] Centrist election

Create an election system in which the most centrist candidate wins.  This is probably not difficult. The general idea is, when there is only one seat to be won, e.g., President, the election should be uncontroversial.

Assume a two party system.

Is this better for society?  It probably helps preserve the status quo, so it is surprising we don't see it more often.

Perhaps there are political issues for which centrism is impossible.
