I'm talking centre right when I say this

theres too much of a "nanny state" vibe going on in the UK at moment and I can't see how that can be any good for the future of society

I wish they'd mind their own business and stop dragging the whole of society into there woolly madness

You get sick to the bloody back teeth of it all


I've become a little bit more centre from the right than what I was but I'm still more right-leaning.

I'm not voting again until people start to get sensible

I feel like I've been battered round the head with a left wing hammer for long enough

My ex wouldn't speak to a person unless they were left leaning and I think that in itself has left me with a bad hangover

People can vote for whoever they like. That's the whole point of democracy

I'm past worrying about who people vote for and why
Life's too flipping short for it

I'm hated by some people for voting labour. But I don't think we should be hating people for who they choose to vote for. My dad always votes conservatives, which I've never voted for in my life, but I don't hate my dad for it. He can vote for who he likes. lol

My stepdad was Tory all his life and he was one of the nicest people to walk the earth

He just believed in people helping themselves and free enterprise and stuff like that. Tory values

People these days seem to be under the illusion that right wing means you're "far right". Most people aren't.

My supposed biological father doesn't understand right and left but his values are borderline "far right". But I don't involve myself with all that :lol:
too much negativity

It's a bit quieter towards the centre

Honestly, I just don't understand the concept of what's considered left or right. If you ask me, all they just are are directions.

But if that's the case, then do you know what happens when you stick to only one of the two directions? You'll just end up going around in circles. :roll: :p

The two do meet up when they go far enough

Horseshoe theory explains where right and left are more similar when the extremes of the two meet, than when they they are at the political centre centre

Hmm, should I or shouldn't I give my two cents here? I'm scared to. I'd better check first. Be right back.

The way I see it, if your opinion is based on your own personal world view, then it can't be wrong

If people tell you that you're own personal perspective on the world is wrong then that says more about them than it does you

It's like if we both look out of the same window and see two different things...no one is wrong. You just have a different opinion to each other (that is a metaphor BTW)
I know the sky isn't pink

Good luck with that. :lol:

For example (and just an example) - "In my opinion all asylum seekers should be shot as they arrive, or their boats should be punctured if at sea so they drown".
(this isn't too far removed from what a (now ex) Reform candidate was caught saying on a secret recording - Ch4 covered it IIRC)

Discuss.

I was going to add "as long as you're not offending anyone" on to my post but I figured that people would understand the point I was making

I was actually addressing my post to Tamaya as she was worried about posting her thoughts
