This whole "right-left-shift" paradigm is nonsense.

If the base moves so far left that their original position is now considered far-right,

then you still have a relative right-shift.

Howcome nobody ever questions said extreme left-shift of the base?

because left is "correct" and right is evil

Right, sums up the political discourse of our time.
