No... apparently the UK is populated by chavs! Neds, etc...

The Excited States is populated by rednecks, etc.... Valley Girls & Boys...

Reading the finely thought-out print:
it is a moneyed elite who manipulate them and actually run the transglobal corporate conspiracy.
At least Valley Girls are better looking than chavs.

Business is business. "With usura...." bellowed the old poet that everybody thought was already dead. The rest of them went on counting their chickens, uncertain whether or not to include the frisky decapitated ones.

It leaves them on the centre-right, same as usual. You don't seriously regard Bill Clinton and Al Gore as being on the far left, do you?

Okay, then, name a far leftist policy enacted or endorsed by Bill Clinton, and then we can respond. All I see is the same old foreign policy and a slightly-warmed-up Nixonian economic policy, more ably managed by the whizzkids in the White House. He may have expropriated monopoly capital while I was looking the other way, but somehow I doubt it...monopoly capital expropriated him, like it did all the others.

I don't really rate politicalcompass, to be honest - it was a good site three years ago, but the questions aren't definitive enough for my liking, and some of them (notably the globalization questions) are very ambiguous.

James Carville turns me off just as reliably as Rush Limbaugh does.
