I am pretty much following the left values that my parents brought me up on - fairness, equality, tolerance.

Labor is generally left wing and Liberal right wing.

But neither are generally extreme left or right.

Why you asking? You know the answer to that. So where is this heading?

I thought about it but I am there with my 60 year old sister in law for a girls weekend. Didn't think it would be your cup of tea.

But you can join us for dinner on the Sat night if you want - we are at the Hellenic Club.

very much left. sadly i think both major parties are far too right wing. the two leaders are basically the same person imo.

I'd like to be one. Pity the greens have no common sense as they have some good ideas

Left wing here... neither old enough or rich enough to vote conservative

looking at today's Telegraph front page, any side that isn't them. Labor is a centrist party mostly, the libs likewise. vote green in the senate.

Comparing to 40 years ago when the most right wing was Malcolm Fraser, who now finds Labor too right wing, we do not really have any Left wing. I too am for equality in education, health and sustainable future for my grandchildren, so I guess that makes me Left.

I'm for social justice, and my experience looking for that (and not receiving it) from a previous conservative government, means that they then lost my vote forever. And today's conservative governments show an appalling disregard for social justice for anyone, so they will still lack my support.

Labor is left wing & have centre left wing factions & extreme left wing factions. Liberals are centre & have no extreme factions.

Ultra left wing arm of Labor is the Greens. The Greens are Labor orientated & always vote with Labor, Labor rely on the Greens vote & preference the Greens because that's what they do.
