‘Arcane idea’ from 18th-century French politics is allowing for the demonisation of the right

Menzies Research Centre Executive Director Nick Cater discusses his piece in The Australian about the demonisation of the right.
“It’s going to black and white ... good and bad,” Mr Cater told Sky News host James Morrow.
“This whole idea that politics goes from left to right, as you know, comes from the French National Assembly in the 18th century - it’s an arcane idea; politics doesn’t fit it like that.
“But it suits the left … to keep on with this because then they can say that anybody on the conservative side who is slightly more conservative than averagely conservative is on the hard right.”

    There is only commonsense, freedom, truth and holding onto what is good. No such thing as left and right

    1939-1945 was a pretty good reason to have an issue with the far-right. Your normal conservatives are fine. They helped get rid of the far-right.

    Can SKY please shut up about so-called "brilliant" stories in The Australian newspaper. The Australian paper is owed by SKYs owner Rupert Murdoch and of course it pumps out hard right propaganda. The paper has rarely made a profit in decades of publishing, so it needs all the promoting it can get. It is read by old fat white businessmen.
