I don't know that to be true yet.
"Each side" doesn't have to mean a little from the liberal column, a little from the conservative column but only what's on the table, there doesn't have to be a restriction to the already suggested ideas.
I do think overall they'll be a status quo party in the major structural areas (i.e. our capitalist democracy).
At the same time things like a refactoring of our tax code from the ground up sounds like a great opportunity to deal with a ton of issues, especially affecting the inequality front. Of course it can go the other way, witch is why if like to see now of where they're going.
Same goes for climate guidelines -- we had the liberals apply the conservative solution of a carbon tax, then continuously ignore the actual price pressures and related grants they needed to apply to get results. If this new party is serious about applying known solutions, they'll keep the carbon tax and crank it up to apply real pressures on our industry for the environment.
It seems clear to me that one part of every problem is framing it correctly, the next is finding solutions to it. If they keep honest about applying objective solutions, I think they can make a big difference instead of toeing the red vs blue rhetorical lines.
