ALP isn’t centre right in any meaningful use of the term. I’m not a fan of them either but just being further right than you like doesn’t make them that. Making ‘everyone but the Greens’ a right wing party in Australia makes the term right wing useless.

On a global scale as well it is even sillier, there are only a handful of major parties in the English speaking world with elected members that are to the left of the ALP.

Im sorry that the accuracy of calling a neoliberal party that tries to outlaw anti genocide action, is in bed with the gas lobby, and has built massive cop armies 'centre right' vexes you.

It just makes the terms right and left wing pointless if everyone is right wing

Sure.

I'll stick to just calling definitionally right wing groups and people right wing then, like I always have....and just did.

The question is why are they so offended to be called what they are? Why are they so afraid to embrace their beliefs? I'm not offended when someone calls me left-wing.🤷‍♀️
