It's because they identify 100% with the party but don't want the negative flack it rightfully deserves, so they pretend to be centrist.
This has actually been studied
Anti-Authoritarians and Moderates view it as best to be seen as Anti-Authoritarians, Authoritarians view it best to be seen as Moderates.
They literally view opportunistic claiming of the center not just as a political tool but as a social survival tactic to not be ostracized for their bullshit.

Never thought I'd see anti-immigrant sentiment on here
How about a little compassion! That's a big jump between Sol and Rukbat. That there even is a pernese here is a testament to their enduring spirit. Aivas would be proud!

I'm surprised the Election council didn't do it for them and send them the bill. I think the problem with those wankers is that they constantly try to get away with dodgy actions, and they end up being successful so many times, that they just keep doing it
