Call me a bigot Monty (& I know you will
) but the endorsement of the opinion by those rabble, actually pretty effectively undermines any integrity your statement may be making claim to.?

Well, as Boris will leading an increasingly right wing Conservative party, alienating those of the moderate center-right voting public.. perhaps Liberal can take the disenfranchised center-right vote as well as the disenfranchised centre-left votes.?
Jo Swinson may yet be the first female Liberal PM to achieve the position with a large overall majority.?

AAV - Anyone who poses as a "centrist" while actively pushing or enabling radically hard-right policies like austerity fanaticism, privatisation mania, vandalism of the social safety net, and imperialist war-mongering is quite obviously nowhere near the actual political centre.
The majority of British people actually hate this stuff, especially the privatisation mania.
A lot of self-declared political "centrists" are people occupying the blue areas insisting that those of us in the red areas are the dangerously radical political extremists with unpopular economic ideas!
Amazingly some people are actually gullible enough to buy into their Orwellian propaganda bullshit!

Tory funded, but not necessarily reflecting Tory opinions is what you're saying.

Fyi I would be pleased for you to do so at any time Monty, if you ever feel that I'm displaying a blinkered attitude.
Sometimes such things are much easier to see "from the outside".?
