The whole left and right thing is just bullshit made up by the people in power to keep everything evenly split so the Democracies are easy to manage, this is most obvious in America which is why so many people around the world are horrified at what they'll do next. If I were to describe the mainstream parties I would say they were Imperialists they may differ in how they carry out their goals but in the end what they want to do is expand their country as much as possible the only thing they're really bickering about is the minor details of doing it.

I do honestly believe though there are some smaller countries out there like Sweden who are beginning to wake up to this fact though, or rather I hope because they haven't treated Julian Assange very well but apparently according to a guy I once new who was Swedish, it's a pretty democratic country regardless because the parties are more evenly split, don't know if that's the case for recent data though.
