The "centre" position in politics has moved significantly leftwards since the 1960's & accelerated in that direction since the millennium.
What used to be seen as central conservative values are now described as "populist", "far right", "fascism"(that's a joke, as fascism is a leftist political system) & "extreme".
It's BS, as my political beliefs haven't changed in more than 40 years but the political parties certainly have, often in a desire to gain power for power's sake, rather than to fix the mess we're in.
