The moral basis for the Right is that the policies they advocate are better for human well-being than the policies advocated by the Left.

Interesting introspection of little value?

I have a similar if simpler observation, the sky is blue?

No it's not, it's like so much of what we observe, an optical illusion!

As are progressive conservatives, populated with folks able to actually put the people rather than a selected cohort of cronies first?

We won't slowly sink inevitably into the sunset, like a Titanic, (the music was nice, wasn't it) but rather fly around in ever decreasing circles until, like the whoslem bird of legend, we disappear right up our own fundamental orifice leaving little trace to mark our existence and our rise from the primordal slime?

Which is destination Australia and planet earth under conventional conservative, blinkered or willfully blind stewardship, entirely bereft of meaningful, if politically unpalatable reform!

Look, we've spent the last thirty wasted years slowly extracting government out of the business of of running government owned business? Starting with the most profitable cash cow examples first! Just to buy votes or create welfare for the tax avoiding rich?

With responsibility for outcomes kicked down the road or tossed in the too hard basket, as our entire intellectual might is diverted by wordy, what if oxymoron introspections, like this pseudo intellectual social dissection or time wasting diversion?

Arguably, there's no left or right in today's politics, just up or down, good or bad policy!

End of story and the eternal prevarication by self absorbed pseudo intellectuals, looking for clever schemes/diversionary tactics, to rid the "conservative ranks" of the responsibility of leadership, all while claiming all the perks and lurks they can leverage out of it for themselves and the aforementioned cohort!?

And no better example than the self destructing, sell everything not nailed down, money wasting, patently immoral N.T. conservative administration!?

Well may we say God save the Queen or Australia, given left to the current crop of self serving conservative dithers, our remaining option seems limited to bending over and kissing our keysters goodbye?

Yeng chong, yeng chong, yeng chong, piddle li po, piddle li po.

Hi Alan,

Can you please stand a bit closer to the bowl ?

Thanks.

The left, progressive SJW liberals are for globalism.
The right, conservatives are for nationalism.

Right now the big issues are Islam and immigration, in the US it's illegal immigration, in the UK it's legal immigration.
Europe also is buckling under the strain of immigration.

The real issue is Nationalism V's Globalism and we too have been under attack.

It's subtle things, like a push for UN ideals and the idea that:
'Multicultural Australia' is the new normal and is good.
(An Australia where minorities and foreigners have more rights than existing Aussies (because they have become a large voting block) and where immigrants and non-born Australians hold the status quo in politically correct public opinion)
'True Blue Australia' is the old, racist ideology and bad.

Armchair Critic,
Conservatives are internationalists as well, there's no practical difference between SJW's and "Right Wingers".
Nationalists are the only ones who oppose internationalism and we're more traditionally left wing, or what normal people would recognise as such; what's more we're explicitly opposed to and fighting agains conservatism of the sort promoted by Cory Bernardi, Fred Nile, Daniel Nalliah and so forth.

AC,

The left is for globalism in name only, it is always the left that protests against globalisation, wants to torpedo trade agreements, and block foreign workers.

Some conservatives are nationalistic, but most are not, favouring free trade and flow of skilled labour.
