Left to right

[ciphergoth]

Obviously the left-to-right political spectrum is a massive oversimplification, but just trying to squeeze politics into one dimension for a moment, I have a question...

Hmm. I think there is much to be sceptical about David Cameron. Do we really believe he favours redistribution of wealth or that he proposed greater regulation of the finance industry before the crash? Johann Hari's article seems pretty fair to me. Even on civil liberties, the Tories seem keen on revoking the Human Rights Act, which is hardly a good sign.

What is really sad is that people are rushing from New Labour straight into the arms of the Conservatives, as if they would be any better. The Liberal Democrats, much as I despise their local representatives in Edinburgh, are more deserving of a chance at Westminster.

In Cameron's favour, he recently opposed a third runway at Heathrow in favour of a new high-speed train link from London to the North. That is a policy worth voting for.
