I really hate the whole left right debate, as it never really fully explains a parties stances on things, even fiscally or socially...
Less deficit, but less free trade, whats that, left or right?
decriminalizing marijuana, but restricting the sale of fatty foods, left or right?
The problem with moving on from the scandal ridden past is that in order to truly do so, they need to replace the whole structure that the previous leaders put in place, or else it ends up just dying the hair, rather than replacing the brain if you will.
