What’s in a name?

More on the vote compass….

‘Social liberal’ means that one is less likely to want to tell someone else what what they must do with regards to social and moral issues. That is the opposite of moral arrogance, say non-judgemental.

‘Economic left’ means one is less likely to vote for ‘what’s in it for me’, money-wise. That is the opposite of greedy, say generous.

So why then are our political parties called green, labor, liberal and national?

They should be (in order) the liberal left, central left, mid right and far right. Or soft’n’cuddly, union-confused, greedy arrogant shits and fucking nutters.
