right wing parties

with a hyper focus on the economy and the traditional family rather than the people who pay taxes and make the economy possible. With a divorce rate at over 50%.
Also prefer to control the people, so military, policing, CAS as costly systems rather than community led support initiatives pensions and social services by govt

left wing parties

with a focus on social justice and anti-govt. Self sustaining country rather than globalization. Local govt rather than federal. UBI, guaranteed income

the question remains –

who best represents you? Who actively includes you? Who has policies just for you?
