Someone posted that they don’t think that Johnson’s government is right wing enough, and I find that interesting.
I wonder what others consider a right wing government is, and what sort of policies it would/should follow.
I’ll kick off the debate with the following.
A right wing government is more authoritarian than a centrist or left wing government.
It is intolerant of other sources of power like the judiciary or civil service, media, academia, etc.
It tends to centralise power.
It may or may not be populist.
It believes in the “natural order” of things, and that the individual is paramount.
It does not believe in “society”
That’s a start
