The left-right linear political spectrum is a simplified fiction. I think it is a waste of time to try to fit people on this spectrum.
Carney...
First thing that springs to mind is his complicity in perpetrating a very British genocide, over 130,000 people culled most cruel, with not just media silence, but media egging on the hate to excuse it with lies, until Francesca Martinez broke the media silence on what was going on, in 2019, with what was dubbed the TV moment of the year, on question time... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvRz8HrEVKY
"over 130,000"'s a numbing statistic that hides the reality. Calum's List highlights just some of the stories. http://calumslist.org/ | https://dpac.uk.net/tag/calums-list/ | https://web.archive.org/web/20260223010439/http://calumslist.org/
... It could not have happened without Carney's complicity.
Cameron, Clegg, Osborne, Carney. Blood on their hands. People tend look only at the politicians, if at all. Well he's a politician now too, not just a banker, at least in this phase of his in-and-out of the revolving door. He's due scrutiny, and more.
Real monsters, there are.
What is Calum's List about? Google's AI suggested it's a list and site maintained to commemorate people who died due to welfare cuts?
I tried reading the sites you linked, but they seem to be blogs that don't give a good overview
EDIT: Ah, the website confirms it. I didn't see it at first due to its garish design choices. Seems like they say it's 60 people though
What do the Dutch have against Mark Carney? ๐
In my country, center-right is PP (traditional right party). There used to be C's, but they crashed down.
I'm American, we don't have those anymore.
But formerly, people like John Kasich, Tom Daschle, John McCain
We have a lot of center right politicians, most of the Democratic Party fits that description. They're only "left" of the Republican party. They are not objectively on the left. The furthest left flank of the party (like Pramila Jayapal or Adelita Grijalva) could maybe be seen as center left, but the majority of the party is firmly right of center.
