Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The convergence of positions refers to the fact that the major parties in a two-party system move towards each other and adopt similar policy positions in order to appeal to a broader range of voters and gain political advantage. This can result in a lack of clear ideological differences between the parties and a "centrist" political landscape.
