alcinnz@Ted After the anti-COVID-measures protests I'm not sure how meaningful the left-right spectrum actually is...
But I do get the impression I'm further left of most politicians in the Beehive!
@alcinnz How do you see it if not on a spectrum? Interested.
@Ted I'm not entirely sure?
But what I was seeing was groups thinking of themselves as lefty talking rightwing conspiracy theories in leftwing vocabulary.
Ultimately I think this is an oversimplification brought on by subpar voting mechanisms limiting the number of parties. Certainly these camps seem to more relate to social groups than strongly-held political views.
I reckon there's more than one political axis!
