A Centrist is someone who sits in the centre of the political spectrum. Imagine a line - on the far right you have Nazism and Fascism, less to the right are Conservatives in the UK or Republicans in the US, slightly to the left are Labour or Democrat parties, further left are Socialists, and on the far-left you have Communists. In between the fairly non-extreme left and right parties, you have centrists. They are usually capitalists who believe in some economic regulations, and fairly socially liberal.
The two major US political parties are the Democratic Party and the Republican Party.
