So I "calibrated" slightly to the top right of myself.
I'm not that sure that I shifted to the left much, other than being more vocal about it. I still think that we should have balanced the budgets better in 2007, while trying to change the treaties to something more reasonable of course. What I cannot accept is trying austerity in the current predicament (my main qualm with the Bayrou program this time round was his accepting the golden rule. Alas, Hollande will probably pass it too). One area maybe: I probably now see more fields where having State companies (or even monopoly) seems a very reasonable proposition, or even the best one.
It seems to me that the world shifted a lot to the right, though. Dismantling the NHS used to be considered unthinkable. Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed. Gandhi
