*left wing = Orange
*right wing = bright blue
People produce their best work in a co-operative environment. Too little support prevents people from reaching their full potential (collectivism).
High Taxes to pay for lots of public services (e.g. free education, pensions, healthcare) especially for disadvantaged people (the poor, the sick, the old).
Key industries like the railways should be consolidated, run and supported by the government on behalf of the nation ('nationalisation'). Private ownership of business leads to short-term profit making, not long-term investment.
Each country should try to preserve and take pride in its national identity. Multi-cultural societies and international organisations are unstable and untraditional.
Devolution is a bad thing. It encourages each of the regions to seek independence and destroys the country.
The courts should try to punish offenders so that others are won't commit crimes. Too much stress on 'reform' embitters the victims of crime and encourages them to take revenge.
We should remove any obvious barriers preventing people from reaching their potential (e.g. making sure that every workplace has disabled access), but never force businesses to employ certain types of people - that would just build up more resentment.
Yes. All humans should be able to enjoy the same fundamental rights and these should be protected by law.
The government should carry out policies which are idealistic and just (‘What is right’). Revolution (rapid change) rather than evolution (slow change) is the way forward - moving slowly too often means not moving at all
