After reading this interesting piece, which contains a lot of stuff I agree with, one is left with the feeling that the terms 'Left' and 'Right', as employed by the writer, have become so confused and intertwined, that they've almost totally lost any real meaning. For example, the Labour Party is supposed to represent the... 'Left', yet their current policies have lurched to the 'Right' of what many post-war Conservative politicians would have supported. It's rather confusing.
