Simi Left, Right or Center?


Recently, we’ve been hearing about our government is leaning slightly to the left. What exactly does it mean by leaning left or right or staying in the centre? Here is Hosaybo’s attempt to explain and simplify it for you:-

A leftist government aims to
- Support you if you cannot support yourself.
- Provide certain things such as free education and healthcare.
- Everyone will have access to essentials such as gas, electricity and water as these industries are nationalised and provided on a not for profit basis
- Tax people more in order to maintain the above

A rightist government aims to
- Help people to look after themselves and not burden others (i.e. don’t need to pay for someone else’s education, healthcare or retirement.)
- have little involvement in people’s lives
- privatise companies so people can buy shares, have a wider choice in services, enabling everyone to progress and prosper.
- Help people by cutting taxes and encourage business growth

With the recent announcements at Budget where both people and businesses have something to take away, we think our Government’s position is somewhere in the middle and they are working towards striking a balance between the 2 wings.
