If you believe it is over balanced in favor of the state you are a rightist.

Interesting that your definition relies on your opinions of the current balance, rather than your overall views (thus a mild-libertarian living in an extremely libertarian state would be a leftist, but in your country he'd be a rightist).

In our country, you would toss fascists out of the definition of rightist (in fact your definition would call them leftists), but add libertarians (even if their more focused on legalizing drugs, prostitution, all sorts of porn, etc., less focused on taxes, and they want to slash the military until its very small).

There is no such thing as a centrist.

It would presumably be a small group, but what about people who think the balance is exactly right?
