Centrist politics has shifted more into conservatism in recent years. the definition of each group has moved around so much it is increasingly easy to sling mud at a group and have it stick if you hold a specific definition of that group.

Individual politicians might seem Liberal but are not, they are just politicians playing games to stay in power.
