Do you swing to the Left or Right?

I seem to be always in the middle, not just on politics either.

You've covered the pitfalls of being a slave to both ideology and party tribalism pretty well in that post.

 

That's why Im hoping we can have a mayor who is independent who is in charge of the council.

I'm left wing. Bet that comes as a surprise.

Shock,! horror! I would never have believed it.

Is it possible to be left and right? I'm left wing on some issues but right on other, but never in the middle...

 

Which ones Frank?

No, i'd say Left, but he is selective in what issues he takes the leftist side on, and loves to call people out.

to be fair even though frank seems mainly right wing he does seem to at least consider his position and not just bark out rhetoric.

I see Frank as being ironic at times just baiting whingers, but yes he usually has quite a valid point.

 

So does Halibut, just wished he applied it equally.

Of course I am. Everyone is, including you.

I try to at least show disdain when "my" side does wrong, rather than just totally avoid it and sort of defend the really bad ones.

Which ones Frank?

 

Right wing = Immigration, foreign policy, Education, EU.

Left Wing = Criminal justice, Unions, Welfare, Discrimination

 

And Many More...I do not follow any traditional left or right doctrine, there's good and bad in both...
