All this polarism.

You should realise that there is only the "Left" and "...the other Left". There is no "Right!".

That's only in the UK, where Reform is the closest you have to the right. Tories and Labour are a uniparty.

Reform is mostly ex-Tories.

The understanding of "Right" however is obviously different.

For instance there is "Right" and "Wrong". The following could be a "logical fallacy" however is still something to consider.

The Left isn't necessarily "Wrong", which means that the Right isn't necessarily "Right".

Once you accept there's nothing more important than making money you've got your dictators, your fraudsters .. your liars and cheats .. as role models.

Why fine them? If it wasn't good [not profitable] they wouldn't do it.

That's why people say "the right" and "the left," so you don't stumble over simple semantics.
But the left is usually the most divorced from reality... whether you want to call reality "correct" is up to you.

Terrible level of stereotyping.

You do realise that the whole "Left/Right" thing is just about exploiting division by certain psychopaths. It's a terrible thing to do to a country, it should be classed as treasonous.

It's the natural consequence of progressives having no limiting principles, ever running further leftward. That ideology is the source of division. Decades of stats have shown that the right has hardly moved (and slightly leftward at that) while the left has sprinted to ever greater extremes. When you try to drag the Overton window that far, you not create a widening gap with the right, you also increasingly orphan the former left.

There are psychopaths exploiting you... by convincing you that it's a "both sides" phenomena. That's the trick they play with the Overton window. Convincing those not paying attention that the "middle" has never moved and "both sides" have grown equally extreme. It is a terrible thing to do... weaponizing the historical ignorance of a population for which their government-funded schools are designed to fail.

You're the exact product they wanted to produce.
