These days you can be labelled right wing if you support

Law and Order

The family unit

Personal responsibility

J K Rowling

Free speech

Progress through merit

and so it goes

These labels mean whatever someone wants them to be

 


Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Sweden only has 7.8 billion voters and they are just as worried about their electricity bills as anything else.

The result, as the previous one, sets up a complex coalition with multiple minor parties.

The narrow loser could easily end up running things in de facto, it is that complicated.

The centre parties, if that's what they are, will not work with the far-right with their 8 seats etc etc.

If I was Swedish I'd want to escape from it all to one of their thousands of uninhabited islands.

7.8 billion. Clearly a typo as that is in fact the whole world

Apparently stating something such as 'Only women can get pregnant makes you a literal Nazi in this day and age.

Pretty much what you learn at school, if not at home. Well perhaps not the views on transsexuals. That’s gone from accepting to having bearded men in dresses reading to children in libraries and teaching children that considering and actually changing your gender is normal and to be encouraged.

These morons ignore the thoughts of parents behind closed doors.

Ha ha, but on a serious note it is not just on colour minority. That’s not what was the target because fundamentally it’s only skin deep. It was more the real minority groups and to discuss that gets you labelled. You get my drift !

Very interesting.

The question is how far right? I'm saying that with genuinely little knowledge or insight. If it is indeed just a reaction to the far left and the meeting of fire with fire, I do fear swinging from one set of ideologues to another doesn't represent progress at all. In this country we have seen everything swing so far left the CONS are essentially the left and the LABS have just become a circus. I wish for the left to be ousted as much as wish not for a too far right govt.

I still maintain we are living in a 'post-common sense' political and social landscape. Oh for centricity and logic!


I think what is too far right is an interesting and valid question just as it is on the left.

The left will always try to reduce that window so that essentially anyone on the right who believes in social conservatism is essentially a Hitler supporter....it isn't an honest or very bright approach but it's worked for them....and that's all they care about. Unfortunately the Tories adapted to this by throwing away social conservatism for social/neo liberalism.

For me the excesses of the right or left can be circumvented by a commitment to certain core beliefs. First among them would be a commitment to free speech. Second to that would be a restraint on political persecution by the state and its proxies....neoliberalism is failing on both these fronts.

Essentially I suppose I'm arguing for social conservatism without the overt authoritarianism.

Of course on the wider scale, as in what's happening in Europe right now none of us get an influence. The rise of the right won't be down to a sudden desire to reject neoliberalism so much as a reflection of the disastrous political and economic choices that globalist minded governments have took over covid, Ukraine and the immigration/crime rate. Even their control of the media can't save them from the ballot box.

What forms the right will take in individual countries will reflect the nature of the right wing there......so in Sweden half of the right is pretty tame whereas in Italy most of the right actually have some balls.
