There's no reason that there can't be a huge population of voters on the extreme left and extreme right of the spectrum, or a flat distribution, or a huge leftist "slope", or whatever arbitrary grouping you can imagine.
All you're really saying is "The Liberals are left of the Cons, and right of everyone else, therefore they are the centre".

That isn't what I'm saying. I'm saying the center, defined by the median voter, is Liberal. How do you propose to define where the middle is (the Canadian middle), if not by voters (Canadian voters)?
