Centre (Rocailish: Sentre), formerly the Farmers' League (Roc: Bundelag) is a political party in Rocail, founded in 1907. It is one of the earliest examples of a successful Nordic agrarian political party.
Centre is considered a centrist to centre-right party in Rocailish politics. It has contributed five Prime Ministers and formed elements of coalition governments with most current major parties. It is most closely allied with the Reform Democrats, being part of the Reform-led governing coalition in the current Riksdagh.
Initially founded as the Farmers' League, the party was an important legislative force in the 1920s and 30s, but declined into near-nonexistence from 1943 onward. The party's decline was caused by the combination of growing urbanization and public rejection to many League members' sympathies for Nazism and Adolf Hitler. The party underwent substantial reforms in the following decades, expelled antisemitic members and adopted a more moderate, city-focused platform. It adopted its new identity in 1963 following a merger with the moderate Working People's Party.
