Or, "in the US I'm a liberal, but on Fiji I'd be hanged from a lamp post instantaneously." Overall, do you consider yourself to be right or left of centre in your country's political landscape. Enjoy.

I'm a centrist

actually I'm leaning more democrat now. But democrats are still a bunch of weenies. Their only distinction is they aren't republicans.

Most people are.

I would choose the banana, as I'm nowhere on the scale. Politics is interesting if it is set in historic context, but as for taking such an interest in it that I would subscribe to a particular style - well I don't.

I've gone so far to the left, that I'm now on the right.
Or is it left?
Which would mean I'm opposite of centre, probably.

I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not sure.

People who are in the centre are people will no balls.

They're like the people whose solution to ethical disagreements on matters of principle is to imagine that the opposing sides are like ingredients which can be mixed together to form an appealing bland paste.

quote: Originally posted by KrazyHorse As I understand the Lib Dems, they used to be right of Labour. What happened between 1930 and today?

It's not quite just Labour moving right. The Lib Dems have a much wider spectrum than the other two parties. There are members who want to have more regulation, both environmental and workers rights, and people who want a freer market. Their defining characteristic is they want more personal and social freedom and decent public services.

I wouldn't say the Lib Dems are catagorically to the left of Labour, even New Labour, mainly more liberal.

Contemporary politics is irrelevant anyway. Most of it is people squabbling over the inevitable. The economic basis of society does more to determine politics than what people claim to want.

Marx was right about that.

Unlike Diss, who takes this viewpoint to mean your promoting communism(left) over i'll call it capitalism(right).

To me it shows that extremes of either left or right political belief lead to the same problem - intolerance in one form or another, which in turn leads to the death of many innocent people just trying live their short and mostly insignificant lives(in the grand scheme of things).

thats why i'm nether left or right in totality.
