Left, right, centre of politics, it really doesn't matter much, most of us will switch depending on who delivers what we want, most parties don't deliver, so we switch to another party, thinking they'll deliver but they rarely do, the cycle continues and things don't change in areas that people really want, regardless of which way we vote, hence why, pretty much every modern country isn't that different from each other, even thought people in these countries vote quite differently.
Personally, voting for any of the mainstream parties, whether it be on the left or right, doesn't really change much, if people really want big changes in society, they'll have to vote very differently than how they are doing, and that doesn't mean voting for the loony parties on the left or right of politics, basically, things are the way they are because of the way people vote, in that they say they want real change but keep voting the same way, so it's hard to blame the governments, the real problem is the public, and it's voting patterns, and this is a flaw we see in most modern countries.
At the end of the day, a democracy is only as good as the people's voting patterns, having access to facts on what they are voting on, something most do a poor job on, even thought in this day and age of the internet, we have access to all the information we could want.
