WillDeBeest:
1) "Individuals instinctively tend to the selfish (right wing) or altruistic (left wing)"
2) "then modify their natural position with varying degrees of realism about what can be achieved (or got away with) in practice"
Westpig:
1) "there are many people who vote for the 'right' who do so not out of selfishness.... but out of realism."
2) "Those same people think that the left's altruism, whilst good in itself, is often wholly unrealistic and needs the realism of the 'right' to be able to enable the country to afford to look after those that need it"
So, WillDeBeest believes that people tend towards one or the other, but then modify their position taking into account reality.
Whereas Westpig feels that whether or not people like or admire one side or the other they modify their behaviour to take into account reality.
I can see this breaking into a huge and endless argument given that you are both hold such different positions.
No, wait...........
