I'd say the coalition is just "center" with the CDU being center-right and the SPD being center-left that seems like a good conclusion..

How did the SPD move to the right? By forming a coalition with the CDU? That claim sounds very dubious to me..

The SPD started moving to the right shortly after Schröder was elected chancellor. Their policies curbed the welfare system in a "only Nixon could go to China manner".

Schröder is long gone and especially the current SPD seems a good distance from Schröder's politics.

I see very much a continuity of the Agenda 2010 attitude within the party.
