Are you right wing?

[chrisd]

I played right back as well, when the goals dried up.

I am Liberal as well, though I did get confused when they changed their name.

Been voting for 40 years and never picked the winning team, including EU vote

Centre half or centre forward back in the day and still consider myself a Conservative with neither right or left leanings

Tommy Robinson is NOT clown, he is an actual fact very clever, albeit he was a bit of a rogue when younger. His knowledge of the Qaran is amazing, and he knows the book back to front. I also have read a lot of the Qaran, and can thus understand his fears regarding Islam. I suggest you spend the time to read his book "Enemy of the state" and you may well change your mind. In the meantime sit back and watch this, you may learn something

The only thing you will learn from Robinson is far right, hate filled racist views. Regarding his views on Islam, he fails to draw any distinction between Islamist extremists and ordinary Muslims. He is just as much an extremist as those he appears to judge.

Not sure the tag of "bit of a rogue" can be applied to someone who brought violence to the streets with anti-Muslim street protests and intimidation of political opponents by storming their offices and confronting them in their homes.

It makes me sad that you feel you are able to relate to his own generalised prejudiced and extremist views

I consider myself a centrist, going back to governments in my life time I'd have voted Tory in 92, Labour in 97 until 2010 when I'd have voted Tory again (and did). I've since switched to Lib Dems as the mainstream parties have shifted too far either way for me to feel I can vote for them based on my principles. Yes, they're a bit of a shambles at the moment but I feel they're the only party who remotely reflect my political beliefs so there we are!

Personally would love it if Yvette Cooper could somehow get in charge of Labour, or Anna Soubry the Tories but I think we're a good few years away from any possibility of a centrist party leading.

Just look through some of the threads to see where people stand. Some of it is absolutely shocking and pretty disgusting

On economic issues I lean slightly to the right and on social issues slightly to the left.

In addition to the above I voted and supported Remain but accept the result of the referendum and want no part of a second vote.

Also a republican but certainly not in favour of a revolution.

Trying to find a label for that mix of views is beyond me!

It doesn't need a label. It's somewhat similar to me I suppose.

Are two of us enough to form a Party?

[Mrs Wiggles]

Strange how we see things differently. I do agree that the Labour party has moved left, but I believe the Tory party are far to central. I stopped voting Conservative because my politics are very right of their policies.

Why ?

 

[robinthehood]

Why ?

im surprised you need to ask

 

[Hacker Khan]

Why ?

Because whilst this is a more conservative leaning forum, a lot of contributors find eulogising of Tommy Robinson and his ilk a bit sad. And kudos to the forum for that. And If you are looking for reaffirmation and likes then, whilst I am sure there are one or two on here that agree with everything you type, there are other forums available that will give you more of a warm welcome when you express those type of views. Feel free to keep typing the stuff you do if you feel you need to, but unless you have a complete lack of self awareness, don't be surprised when you get pulled up and challenged on it.

Why is it people with right wing views are generally tolerant of people with left wing views, but the same can't be said in reverse.

Tolernace and acceptance of people with right wing views is not an issue and doesn't make someone a bad person, xenophobic and borderline racist extreme right hand views on the other hand is not palettable to most decent human beings..

 

[Dellboy]

I would say I'm more to the right than left, doesn't make me a bad person.

Could be due to having witnessed in relatively modern times a regime (Nazi Germany) led by someone spouting evil prejudice similar to that coming from the far-right.

Blimey, I'm glad you don't exaggerate
