Political Spectrum

With this crucial imminent event fast approaching , one needs to be sure of where one leans ( one wouldn't want to put a cross in the wrong box , would one ).

There is a lot of posts on here - referring to ' left / right wingers'

So , what's you definition of 'left winger ' / ' right winger ' ?

Let them all in ---LEFT

Keep them all out -----RIGHT
After that it gets a bit grey.

With a hairs breadth between the Tories and Labour policies I'm not sure how to answer that !

I have a very personal definition of left winger and right winger.

Left wingers think that very simple problems inherently must have very complex solutions.

Right wingers think that very complex problems inherently must have very simple solutions.

I am not sure if the question is serious but in this country 'left wing' tends to mean favouring state intervention and redistribution of wealth whereas 'right wing' means a smaller state or government and basically letting people fend for themselves in the belief that capitalist wealth creation will trickle down and benefit all. Bit of a generalisation but that is basically it
