I consider myself right of center and a Wildrose supporter but would never seriously call the NDP communists or Marxists. Although I am sure I have said it jest after a few beers.
I think we need a new label to replace the whole left right thing. Or separate it into two spectrums, one for fiscal policy and another for social policy. There are a lot of us who believe that fiscal responsibility can and should go hand in hand with providing strong social support systems.
Maybe a political sphere would be more apt. I could then state that I am moderate northwest hemisphere guy and look disdainfully on the silly people who agree with the principles of the south eastern hemisphere.
