Relative to the median voter.

By laying out pros and cons we risk inducing people to join the debate, and losing control of a process that only we fully understand. - Alan Greenspan

Well, then, anyone in power would be, by definition, centre (except in FPTP systems of course). Not even centre-something, but full centre. Which would make the wording devoid of meaning.

Actually, Mussolini would then have to be called centre. The median voter was with him. Some threats probably ensured that it was so, of course.

Somehow, I rarely see Chavez described as a centre politician. Yet he is spot on where the median voter is, in his country.

Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed. Gandhi
