It's really not centrist at all."The Centre" in America is comparable to the right here. By US standards, Cameron is a socialist, since he supports the NHS.
The difference between right and left in the whole US political spectrum maps roughly onto the difference between John Redwood or Daniel Hannan and Ken Clarke within the Tory party. It's really no difference at all.
(Indeed, there's a joke along the lines that the US has two political parties: one is like the Conservatives, and the other is like the Conservatives. Except that the joke is out of date, because both are to the right of mainstream Toryism.)
