They say "uninspiring centrist" as if there has ever been something like an "inspiring" centrist.

Or a centrist.

Centrism doesn't exist, they're all conservatives that don't like being called conservatives. The only thing they ever do is to give out the bare minimum of concessions to keep the status quo going.

That's true for American "centrists", but not for some European centrists. Centrists here are often either conservatives that are pretty left relatively to their party or social democrats that are pretty right relatively to their party, meeting somewhere in the middle.

Nope, France is unfortunately not breaking the circle, because the left did not win the election, they just have more MPs than the others, but not at all a strict majority. Now, Uninspiring "center" and right (and why not some far right) are trying to form an alliance to form a government...

You break the cycle by voting. It's all relative, you could have things cycling between "leftist" and "centrist" but leftist not voting means it cycles between "centrists" and the right-wing.

I don't think Poland is accurate tbh, but otherwise, really accurate and scary

Ireland doesn't really have a far right. Most ofnyheir reactionary parties have been populist far left.

The concept is sound, but the flags dont necessarily fall correctly.
