    Personally, I think that graphical representation is fairly accurate. I live, and was brought up in the UK, and where they have the various parties slotted there, looks about right to me, which is a good indicator that the rest of the representation would be correct.

     

    Currently, the Conservative Party in the UK, is actually moving further to the right in many respects. About the only thing stopping it moving quicker, is the Covid pandemic.

     

    In Europe generally, the view held here of the Democrats as being left wing is a matter of some amusement. In relation to the political leanings of parties in Europe, at best they would be considered 'center left', and no doubt many would still characterize them as being 'center right'.

     

    There would be no doubt in the average European mind, that the Republicans are currently a 'right wing' party, and a fair way over, as well.


    that’s the problem. European political spectrums have no use in the United States. 
     

    I don’t care what scholars or anyone says in reference to the question someone posed above. 
     

    In the United States, we were formed as a Constitutional Republic. Limited enumerated powers given to the federal government, maximum liberty to the individual. That’s the starting point and the center for our political spectrum. Anything more toward centralization of power in the hands of the federal government is a move to the left. That includes the most extreme versions of that, socialism and ultimately fascism, and communism. There is no other pole that’s natural extreme is also total authoritarian rule. The other extreme is no federal government, then maybe no government period. 
     

    here endeth the lesson

    I work with a guy who believes in the "fine people on both sides" hoax. I pulled up the transcript on Politico and let him read it word for word. He still wasn't convinced.

     

    Never underestimate the power of denial.


    I literally copy and pasted the link to the video to my liberal friends and they still buy into the fine people on both sides narrative. It’s pure insanity.
