Ultimately the interpretation of this election within the Death of the Atlasian Right really depends on classification of parties - on one hand, the Federalists's status as Labor's primary opposition is seriously in doubt (despite winning 3 House seats, they didn't run candidates in either Senate race and got ~30% of the vote IIRC), but on the other hand, Labor is weaker than it has been in a while. I'm no historian though, so take this all with a grain of salt.
Objectively, the Democratic Alliance is a centrist party - however, as we've seen, a large portion of its support (particularly in Lincoln) comes from the right-wing anti-Labor vote. Likewise, the Greens are purportedly left-wing, yet a significant percentage of T'Chenka votes came from the Fremont Right. I don't think this election is a win for the Right so much as it is both a win for the Center and a win for anti-Labor. But who knows.
