The paradox could be called the tyranny of the 10%: if 45% of voters in a multiparty system want a government to the left and 45% want a government to the right but 10% vote for parties that want to govern from the centre, it will be very difficult for the old blocs to form governments.

I'm not saying he's wrong in his core beliefs, just that he's extremely narrow-minded. This is the hammer calling everything a nail.
