Left wing right wing

[davew]

Not talking about Myles Weston here.

I consider myself to be Left wing regarding Politics, workers rights , taxing the rich, getting rid of the Royal Family, reform the house of Lords etc.

I think the UK should not take any more refugees and should kick out / stop illegal asylum seekers .

I think the UK should put it's own house in order 1st (looking after the sick and elderly and ex service men/women etc)

We should be Paying of our National Debt

Does that make me Right Wing (never voted Tory, Lib Dem, UKIP) in my life

Raving Loonie Party (my cup of tea)

I am very definitely right wing but agree with pretty much of what you're saying....does that make me left wing?! :stunned:

Nope, it makes you a human being with opinions about life. People get too hung up about left and right.

Left wing on social politics, right wing on economics and an utter c*** on the refugee crisis. I'd say that makes you a disaffected Lib Dem voter who has turned to UKIP.

Same here. Hope that changes come the next few days #teamjeremy

This thread is getting far too left wing in it's posts. I know a local councillor in local politics who pretends that he is left wing and actually reads the daily Mail and Telegraph, and gets taxis to work at the tax payers expense and gets benefits for his kids that don't live with him as they are in Calais. You couldn't make it up .

I think this is an interesting study. It might be based on the US, but I think it probably applies equally here:

Republicans Like Obama's Ideas Better When They Think They're Donald Trump's

As you can see, both sides move when they're lied to about whose ideas they were originally, although the Republicans move more.

Doesnt mean that you should be. You asked the question about what the political opinions you espoused above made you, and got your answer. If it made the inner socialist in you puff up with indignance, perhaps you need to review either your opinions or the party your political persuasions should actually have you voting for. Who are you backing in the leadership election btw?

 

[Berrichonne shrimper]

I like to sit above the left or right wing when flying.

Not backing anyone as I am not a labour party member and I don't really care who wins. At the moment there is no party that persuades me, can only hope some party can do in the future, most prob vote for an independent in next election.

I don't believe there is a genuinely right-wing party in US or UK Politics. The Tories and Republicans have bought into the multi-cultural tree-hugging 'consensus', and even UKIP don't espouse true right-wing ideas like the elimination of the welfare state and mass repatriation. It amuses me when I see allegations of the Labour Party 'abandoning the left' - the left has been running the US and the UK since 1945, and only Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan were able to vaguely buck that trend.

Sounds more like the voice of 1930's Germany sadly.

You know all of those are now available on the BBC website? I used to love listening to them as a kid on the way home from a Friday night match. And his voice was perfect for the job...

I am a man that is not easily labelled, a mystery and an enigma.

Actually my younger brother, (not RobNoxious but the other one),the Venture Capitalist was a much bigger fan than me but I used to quite enjoy listening to AC too.
