Political Compass

[pee dubyas crayons]

And the current state of British politics, which explains why I don't like any of them:

The BNP are left-wing. Interesting. I've been saying this for ages but most people are too thick to realise.

When you get down to brass tacks there is very little difference between the Far Right and the Far Left

Take this as a straw poll and it shows just how far out-of-sinc the average brit is with our two main political parties.
Just another reminder of why i have never voted and im now 45.

Interesting - thought I'd be more to the right.

I have never failed to vote, and I always will even if I waste my vote, beleive it or not politicians love political apathy, the less that vote the better, they then only have to answer to a small group, why do you think they still hold elections on Thursdays, when you could be guaranteed a high turn out if one were to be held at the weekend

Its all down to opinions,and yours is as valid as mine,but I profoundly disagree.
Anyone who compares,for example,Mein Kampf with Das Kapital,would realise that the two doctrines are poles apart on almost everything,from the economy,the power of the state,individual and collective responsiblity,freedom and expression,means of production,expansionism,etc.
I can see how people can reach the conclusion that they are both as bad/extreme as one another,but in terms of underlying political policy,that simply is not true.

When both are put into practise they both tend to have the same results, just remember that the Nazi party was a Socialist party much of it's ideology was taken from the communist movement

The far right tends to be driven by a nationalist ideology whereas the left tends to be driven by political dogma but there isn't much difference between them.
