They're all centrist really.
In theory if people voted purely on a ideological basis centrist parties should get squeezed out as the left-right parties converge in the middle to appeal to the broadest coalition of voters. But people don't vote purely on a ideological basis (nor do political parties consistently act in a rational manner) so that's neither here nor there.
