1) Lib Dem are not centrist
There's 2 political spectrums
For 60 years we focused on the 1st, Left and Right, Labour and Tory

Everything that wasnt Left or Right became "centrist"

But what we're seeing now is the most important spectrum, Liberal & Authoritarianism
#Brexit
2) What we're seeing in Labour & the Tory/Brexit party is the emergence of authoritarianism

If you see Corbyn essentially ignore his members, mislead people on "Jobs first" Brexit, damage the Labour Party & are OK about it "because Jeremy".. maybe you're actually authoritarian
3) if you don't care that a small cabal of men control Labour, then it's similar to the lack of interest in Brexit party supporters in the lack of internal party democracy

Some people just like someone to be in charge. Some like to follow a figure rather than policies
4) and some on the left and right want Brexit because they instinctively distrust compromise and working with others. They feel more comfortable with black and white certainties and like people being categorised into us and them ("good" left wingers & everyone else)
5) if you are not like this, if you believe in personal liberty, that the state's role is to enable any individual from any background to achieve their full potential, if the below resonates with you, then you're not a centrist, you're a liberal
