Hmmm. Well, what passes for "conservative Republican" in France is to the LEFT of Hillary Clinton in the United States (even Sarkozy was considered the "most conservative" candidate in their party and that dope was "disappointed" in Obama for being as liberal as him on global warming). Given how left-wing their "conservative" parties are, I'd hate to see how their "centrists" will govern.
