Neo-Whig Part: 6
Green Party: 3.5
I suppose you'd think Canada's New Democratic Party would have a negative score, then... and they're not as far-left as some parties in other parts of the world.
We think your Democrats are centrist at best, and more likely right-wing.
As for the Thief-in-Charge being Right-Wing... maybe if your 'Centrist' reference point was Joe Stalin, you could call him right-wing... short of that, I can't see it.
And Valles, any President who has actively stated his intention to destroy the national economy, openly and without criticism by the media, can -never- be called "centrist" with a straight face.
