Wow - looking at this chart, I cannot believe I would have to claim the "Far Right" (which I DO consider "just normal").
Here is the issue with what "The 80%" middlers believe: there is a steep price to pay for each of those policies and most middlers are blind to the cost, or unwilling to recognize they are the ones to pay, preferring or assuming someone else will do it.
Great example: "Help for those who need it." Wonderful! How much help? For how long? Up to what cost? What is the role of real charities (supported purely by individuals, not taxes)?
"Strong Public Services" is another satisfying soundbite but what does that mean? Public means it must be paid by the public. Is there a limit to the expenditures? Who defines "strong"? And what exactly is a service? If paid by the public, it should be rather narrowly defined, right?
The statements on the right are unequivocal, IMO. No mushy compromise, just clear direction.
