Analysis:
49% of people are left leaning
49% of people are right leaning
2% of people have no internal compass but were upset about inflation and voted for whoever was in the other party
That 2% in the middle doesn't care about right wing or left wing politics, nor self interest, nor nothing. They were single issue voters & were unhappy about high prices.

If the right shifted more to the right (where do they have left to go?) the apathetic middle would still be apathetic.
