Why are you disturbed by people being right wing?  I'm proud to fit that description but, extreme right wing groups aside, I can't see how subscribing to the Conservative ideology of small, non-interfering government and low taxation (i.e. let the people keep more of their money so that THEY can best decide how to spend it) should disturb anyone.

What I personally find disturbing on the left side is not the traditional old Labour lot, it's the New Labour bunch who have done very well out of the capitalist system, often own several properties and substantial share portfolios, send their kids to selective schools etc, etc, but then preach to the electorate that no-one should own more than one house and that the comprehensive education system is all anyone needs.  In other words - do as I say not as I do - bloody hypocrites!

Not suggesting for a minute that you fall into this well-to-do, preach-what-you-don't-practice brigade Michael but I do wonder how your polictically incorrect (high emissions/poor economy) M3 fits in with your environmental and social conscience.
