I assumed that you'd say that. I think that you're more than centre-left. You are the reverse of me, in between centre-left and far-left.
I believe in free enterprise, and believe that it is important to ensure a strong economy where businesses can grow and people can take individual responsibility for their own lives and the lives of people around them.
But I also believe that individuals can only become strong in a strong society. Which is why I believe that all people deserve rights to fundamentals, like education, hospitals, infrastructure (roads, public transport), safety. And these fundamentals must be of the strongest caliber possible, regardless of how much money a person has. In addition, a strong society must look after its weak, to ensure that they too can get themselves back up and obtain their individualism.
I don't believe in religion. I don't believe christmas is being stolen by muslims. I don't believe homosexuality will destroy everything. I don't believe asylum seekers are going to take over all of Australia and change my way of life.
If that makes me far-left then so be it.
