Maybe that's why the centralist view is often successful. If Corbyn wants to be successful, it is therefore his responsibility to educate those in the electorate?
Unless he's able to successfully convince the voters that his views are suitable and/or viable, then I don't think he will ever be able to win.
I disagree slightly in that it is more the view we are told is centralist that is successful (precisely because that is what we are told) rather than centrism which remains a minority view in the country and politically.
If you look at the traditional political spectrum, Blair was not a centrist even in general terms - his economics were mostly of the right, his stance on personal morality / responsibility was of the right, his foreign policy was certainly right wing even before Iraq and even his attitude towards the welfare state and employment law (at least in terms of what working tax credits were intended to do) could be argued as being of the right given that it benefitted business more than the recipients. His allies were of the right, he was supported by papers traditionally associated with the right and he attracted people of the right into his party.
Corbyn's problem is that he is seen as an extremist, and that is something that the media and large swathes of the establishment have been determined to push since before he became leader.
The media / establishments problem is that they have been too successful; the moment it becomes obvious how much of a mess we are in that he will be the alternative and he may win the next election in a landslide.
