In Canada and its provinces it's almost always the latter case. Quebec is quite prone to it because of English-speaking areas, which are very Liberal.

Yeah, now I'm remembering. Bolivia '89 was particularly famous and horrible. A non sensical congressional coalition of left and right was formed to oust the centrist candidate.
Who did the left and right agree on? Another centrist candidate?

The left-wing candidate, which ended 3rd (behind the centrist and the right-wing former dictator).
