Canada

Agree to disagree. Maybe not right of the centre in the US, and maybe not right of centre in Germany these days, or right of centre in the UK. But right of where centre should be, and used to be in many different countries. Our whole political system needs a kick to the left and push centre back from it's constant rightward creep. I mean, the US is collapsing into fascism and our own Conservative party have been mimicking a lot of their actions. Liberals keep moving to the right and now overlap what used to be Progressive Conservative territory, and the NDP keep trying to water down their policies to draw Liberal voters without going too far. Centre has shifted, so maybe the NDP is left of what centre has become in our current political landscape, but is right of where centre used to be. And there's a whole heck of a lot of room between the NDP now and full-blown Leninist bullshit. I think more people should reflect of what 'centre' has become, and that a little bit of socialism is NOT communism. The US just keeps spewing everywhere, all over our media, that socialists are commies, and commies are bad.

In Chile, for example, they wouldn't view the NDP as being as being particularly left of centre if at all. Their current government with Boric is quite a bit left of the NDP, and their pre-US-fucking-everything-up government was even more left. Relatively, the NDP is a pretty firmly centre party that has been selling out to more and more 'free market solutions' and bandaid fixes rather than being a socialist party. None of the Chileans I know in Canada consider the NDP to be a left of centre party, and my friends feel totally unrepresented by any of the parties because none of them are really left-of-centre.
