I was using "centrist" in the sense of "between reformist and revolutionary". In other words, her politics are to the left of reformism but not revolutionary. Or a hodge-podge of reformist and revolutionary positions.

"Left-centrist" might have been too generous, though.

There are, as far as I know, no "ultra-left" candidates in this election, though there are certainly some that are sectarian.
