New PM ?

He's still have a good chance of hitting you cos his sights are calibrated four notches to the right off centre.

 

You say that like its a bad thing.

Remember our forefathers died fighting somebody who wanted everybody to think like him. !!!!!!!!

 

As you know I don't think left-right is a sufficient way of describing political-socio-economic systems and views. I advocate the 2d perspectives offered by things like the political compass (other 2d views are available).
Fascism is a good example of why. Fascism advocates a mixed economy. This makes it economically centrist. A regulated economy mixing private and public ownership. Centrist, neither right nor left.
Yet fascism advocates strict control, strict social management and a rigid hierarchical structure. It's about as authoritarian as it gets.

So in a 2d view, fascism would sit due North.
To call it far right as is the norm, is misleading.

The same could be said of the BNP. Economically pretty centrist but in social matters, harsh authoritarian. The BNP were economically left of labour in their heyday-the Blair years but they were labeled right wing because of the limited left-right scale.

2d is a much clearer way of expressing things.

 

Paul Dacre said this

The right to disagree was axiomatic to classical liberalism, but the BBC's political correctness is, in fact, an ideology of rigid self-righteousness in which those who do not conform are ignored, silenced, or vilified as sexist, racist, fascist or judgmental. Thus, with this assault on reason, are whole areas of legitimate debate—in education, health, race relations and law and order—shut down, and the corporation, which glories in being open-minded, has become a closed-thought system operating a kind of Orwellian Newspeak."


Does this fit with anyone on here.

 

So he would hit you.

 

Good thinking chippie
