My preferred move to a 5 party system -

Progressives
Democrats
Moderates
Republicans
Conservatives

My problem with this is that you can have progressive Republicans and conservative Democrats. I think maybe we need to think outside the box for names.

Of course. Could a conservative Democrat not find a home with the Democrats or Moderates? Or Republicans?

A progressive Republican might never align with the Progressives, but might find a candidate with the Democrats or Moderates.

I’m open to new naming conventions. I think it more important to create more spaces for differing ideologies.

Our (mostly) binary system is struggling.

Would each country retain the stereotypical economy and economic outcomes as progressive and conservatives areas of the current country?

Only the current policy positions. Outcomes would based on decisions associated with those positions.

It would be interesting to see how land would be divided up.

Again in this hypothetical example in a way where all splits seem equal to the citizens. Military assets get split with the exception of the soldiers who go where they want like other citizens.

Would lead to a severe imbalance in military assets.

The "conservative democrat" by numbers is the generation fading away and being replaced by the Progressives. My mom at 72 vs. my niece at 23.
The generation that wants to hold onto JFK vs. AOC

Would never work. Every hamplanet liberal I know bitches about racism endlessly and always moves to the whitest of white gentrified areas where they then vote for things like enforced "diversity", public housing, higher taxes, needle programs, etc. and make those areas needlessly ****** before they bail for the next area to ruin because they only rent.

I would choose the "conservative" country. But I would expect the conservative country to adhere to conserving the principles of our constitution. I am not interested in conserving societal / cultural norms which are in opposition to our constitution's precepts.
