Am I on the far left?
https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/06/24/am-i-on-the-far-left/ Far-right commentators are suggesting that I am on the far left of the political spectrum. Really?
Since when did a belief in democracy, the need for a strong government capable of delivering decent public services for a very mixed economy, plus an absolute determination that no child should live in poverty, make a person far left? Could it be that those suggesting that I am in danger of falling off the edge of the far right?
