Left and right are not absolutes, they are directions. What constitutes middle depends on how much to the left or right a society has already moved. What is right wing in one place is centrist in another.
- nailer 4y agoHaving spent 27 years in one and 15 in the other Australia is more right than the UK. Australian left is about actual Labour - don’t be a dole bludger (someone that isn’t disabled but collects money for not working). UK left is welfare state. Anyone can collect money from taxpayers if they feel like it. Also lots of weird stuff about Mao and Hamas and the IRA.
