What kind of impact do centre parties have in parliamentary
democracies? How does the existence and growth of centre parties
affect party system polarization, electoral competition and
government stability? This text reassesses the perception of centre
parties as a force of moderation. The author argues that this
intuitive judgement, which has become accepted by political
scientists is dubious, if not incorrect. He examines contemporary
centre parties in Europe and asserts that the opposing tendency of
centre parties contributes to party system polarization.
