Some parts of NI? Maybe if they found oil in Ballymena. Alberta is rich and loves the private sector. Title: Re: Which country is further right on the political spectrum?

Canada might be more liberal than UK, but i believe UK is more left-wing although Labour has still a lot of work to do there, and with moderate Labourites like Blair they will fail and continue to diminish into oblivion. Corbyn has saved that party, despite what the media wants to let the people believe. Both countries are definitely much more to the right than EU.

Different ethnic/language groups will be right/left wing in different ways. It makes it harder for Canadian politicians to be as polarized because they have to worry about offering doing the other group. Title: Re: Which country is further right on the political spectrum?

Then again Scotland is indeed a lot more left wing than Quebec. |
