I've been finding out lately that a disturbing number of you are conservatives/Tory supporters of some stripe or another. Being somewhat of a flaming red socialist myself, I'm interested in how you guys justify the belief that the rich ought to get richer and the poor ought to fend for themselves that seems to be the Tory standpoint to me...

American politics? Where you have a choice of Far Right or Even Further Right? :)

(you can't plausibly elect anyone other than a Democrat or a Republican for anything...)

Ah, sorry, based on how right wing Bush was, and knowing that the democrats were not so I assumed they were like actually left wing. I take it this was a gross misunderstanding, and America in fact has all the flexibility we do, just elsewhere on the spectrum.
