Are the left the only people who can defeat the nationalist right?

The hard right can only be defeated from the left, not from the centre

Owen Jones is probably the UKs most prominent left journalist. Here he is writing about Anglo american issues and drawing comparisons berween the two situations. There seem to be a lot though they are not universal. His biggest argument here is to say that the liberal Centre have abandoned the needs of the working class and middle class people, giving the right opportunity to expoilt this. Are the left the only people who can redress this?

The hard right came about because of the centre. Running third way Democrats or Blairites or what have you does not work.
