How come there's only 2 sides to the Pluto is a planet or dwarf planet argument? I think Pluto-Charon should be classified as a Binary Planet system
The lack of clearing its local zone is the main reason Pluto isn't a planet. Even adding Charon into that equation doesn't change that the local zone isn't clear (it's squarely in the Kuiper Belt).
