[QUOTE="PseudoSilKimono"]And what exactly do they all mean?Center of the political spectrum. Left is socialist, center is liberal (over-lapping ideology with socialist & conservatives), right is conservative.

I'm affraid you'll have to wikipedia them, even after two years of A level politics I'm finding it hard to explain their ideology exactly. Mainly because it changes so much, in the UK at least. Typically socialists like political policies which make society fairer by giving monetary aid via government schemes to poorer people, not "wasting" money on defense etc. While conservatives like to keep the money they make by lowering taxes, they like defense etc. Liberals fall somewhere inbetween.
But as I said it changes in the UK, labour 'copied' conservative policies back in 1997 they won, conservatives think "Oooh, nice idea!" and do the same - their ideology is so similar it's hardly worth bothering with. But what else is a man to do? Lid Dems don't stand a chance atm. :P
Away from my moaning, just look at the links ganon's posted - easier to understand. :p
