    Getting everyone’s basic needs met is more of a centre-left ideology.
    Many centre-right parties believe in things like public healthcare, because it has a net-benefit to the economy.

    Centrists don’t sit in the middle of every issue or make an exact 50/50 compromise on everything. That’s a really poor strawman argument from someone who clearly doesn’t understand global politics.

    I guess you’re confused with people in the U.S who think having views somewhere in-between those of democrats and republicans makes you a centrist.
    That U.S-specific ‘centrism’ is really just right wing politics.
