The middle point between the far-Right and the Left leaves you in a dangerous, shitty, situation. Centrists really have stood for very little, at most, that was beneficial in any significant way to the working class. Just endless cowering and capitulation to the Right. For decades.

Also to sum up the Left as "one-love hippies who want everyone to own flying hybrid electric mini scooters whilst nobody does any work." is an enormously incorrect and pathetic view of what the Left is.
