Both the left and right of politics have actually shifted to the right during past decade or two.

It's complete nonsense, no matter how many times they repeat it.

Wanting companies to pay tax is a moderate view, not far left.

Wanting healthcare for the public is a moderate view, not far left.

Wanting companies to obey laws is a moderate view, not far left.

Wanting democratic norms is a moderate view, not far left.

Wanting to counter a dictator who invades his democratic neighbours is a moderate view, not far left.



The problem with your comments is that I believe you tell a few porkies. We had a robust discussion on here a few months ago and you started out by saying that you were a businessman. I've met many 'businessmen' in my life and deal with many day to day. I also owned a business in the UK for 20 years before emigrating. I've never heard any businessman be so 'socialistic' in their views as yourself.

They are more based on ideology than entrepreneurialism.


All of the above you have stated is what all 'moderate' people would want. I believe that everybody on here is moderate in general but YOU'RE language, in my opinion, is very left-wing.

What about wanting a social welfare or health system that isn't being abused and therefore available to all when needed?
What about ensuring that EVERYBODY pays their correct share of tax?
What about ALL individuals obeying laws?
What about ensuring that ALL countries, irrespective of who their leaders are, stick to their legal and predefined borders?

With regards to your business interests, were you the tour manager for Chumbawumba?
