Left Wing
The fundamental belief of the left is that the greatest problem in the world, the problem that causes the most suffering, are the actions of evil selfish people who hoard resources and deliberately make others suffer.


We must stop evil people.

Right Wing
The fundamental belief of the right is that the greatest problem in the world, the problem that causes the most suffering, are the actions of foolish incompetent people to make mistakes and advance policies they don’t understand and would not result in the desired outcomes if implemented.

We must stop foolish people.

In a democracy voters with a greater vested interest in a policy area will, due to it’s increased significance in determining their vote, have an increased influence on the political treatment of that policy area. A small increase in significance can produce a large increase in influence. Voters with the greatest vested interest in policy areas often have incentives that are opposed to the interests of the general community

Everyone says they care about education but a politician knows that teachers are much more likely to decide their vote based on education policy.

Special interests destroy society.

Strong articulate leaders who are prepared to rally the general community around policies that are counter to the interests of vested interest groups. Using opposing vested interests to counter each other does not work well as eventually they align their interests.
So vote for politicians who are prepared to defy vested interests for the greater good even if you don’t always agree with them. Meaning, vote for conviction politicians.
