Centre to Centre left. I may even be a bit more right wing than I think

[joeysteele]

I really don't like these terms,as I think the policies and views that are associated with the make up of each do such descriptions an injustice.

However, from the things I now support,I would have to put myself at the very least in the left wing section.
In fact some of the things I would now like to see,like the re-nationalisation of the energy industry and railways as well as water too would likely mean I was even more into the far left.

So I am very happy to now describe myself as left wing.
If that means, caring about the most vulnerable in society and wanting to see things set up so that people can really afford to pay them, such as energy bills.
Then also to set out to ensure in times of difficulty,that the strongest and richest bear the burden most, rather than the weakest and poorest, have to fall in the 'left wing' description of what political spectrum one is in.
Then so be it, that is where I am now and happy to be so too.

The odd thing is,I would have been termed a really strong right winger just 5 years ago.

It is odd how peoples' minds can change on some things.

I prefer to think I saw the light from another angle JoshBB

I had been very fortunate in life up to being 18 but now at 23 my thinking is all so different.
While at Uni and after Uni, I came across so much unnecessary suffering caused to people who didn't warrant it at all and more and more I saw the 'great' wrongs of my previous perception of things.

Far left

I did the political compass and I was left wing libertarian but I wasn't far into the left side at all.
