Centre right is showing overconfidence (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hubris

'overconfidence' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'centre right is' is the wordplay.
'centre' becomes 'hub' (hub is a kind of centre).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'hub'+'r'+'is'='HUBRIS'

'showing' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for hubris that I've seen before include "Arrogant pride, from the Greek" , "Overbearing pride or presumption" , "Arogant pride and egotism" , "The pride that goes before a fall" , "show of arrogance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
