I can see your point, to a degree; I think perhaps it's more that I'm saddened by the conflation of the centre vis a vis public opinion with some kind of 'actual centre' (for want of a better term - brain slightly fried at the moment).

I suppose there's an argument to be made that it makes more sense to define the 'actual centre' in terms of the number of people on either side, and I can see that being perhaps a more democratic notion of the centre, but it saddens me.

The Right seems to be very good at moving the Overton window in their favour, whereas the Left often seems to spend more time buying into these moves than countering them.
