The UK has had extremely right wing economic policies for some time now. A truly centrist position would see private and public sector as equally important. Can't recall the last govt we had that believed that. Austerity was a very right wing economic policy and embraced by the two main parties at one stage. Corbyn is seen as far left for offering policies that would be mainstream in much of Europe.I disagree profoundly with the second paragraph. You are looking at it through the kaleidoscope of your own political position. It’s like a person from Preston is a northerner to me, but almost a midlander for a bloke living in Carlisle.
