Traditional perceptions of centre parties stress their moderating
factors, but their opposite tendency of contributing to party
system polarization has generally been treated as if it were of
lesser consequence. This study seeks to settle an age-old debate by
claiming that what has become acceptable almost universally by
political scientists, and has achieved the status of an axiom when
politics are discussed, is dubious, if not outright incorrect.
Examining this important aspect of European parliamentary
democracies, this book reassesses the perception of centre parties
as a force of moderation, arguing that the centre has the capacity
to cause polarization. An examination of contemporary centre
parties is provided to prove this maxim.
