Well we're certainly not going for a false dilemma.
What defines left- and right-wing then? Is there something in the nature of a policy's supporters that causes the policy to be defined as one thing or another? Or does support for a particular policy cause the supporter to be identified with left or right? Beyond that, is it black and white, or is there a sliding scale of greys?
