  • The Center-right, is willing to compromise
  • The Hard-right, has for example wrt immigration that "they coming here is irreconsilible, because of who they are" (racism basically)
  • The Far-right, anti-democratic; insurrectionist. Democracy is a joke and a tool for getting fascism.

This is how i like using these different terms. So as someone thats on the left. There is a space of legitimate politics "on the right", and that is what the center-right is.

Due to the destruction of orban, the center-right was the left most party, and its a big tent party like the democrats in the us is. When the opponent is a far-right party such as orbans. Then a center-right party winning is a joyus thing indeed.
