Do you think right wing governments are inappropriate in modern society?

My feeling is that a modern compassionate society cannot be properly governed by a right wing system because , by it's nature, it cannot govern for all of the people, all of the time.

It can also be said that left wing governments fail everybody for the same reasons. So does that mean that modern governments have to maintain policies right down the centre if they are going to succeed or survive?

Update:

Editor@b. If you don't understand the terms I have used might I suggest you do a quick course on politics and no I am not going to define politics either.

Update 2:

I don't think I mentioned "caring" in my question but on that point there are people who need care at times, for reasons that they cannot control, and I see no wrong in a government providing help in those circumstances , as opposed to your attitude of not giving a damn about them. You may not mean that but that is what you are saying.

Update 3:

The one above was for cmdrbnd0.

GOPer. Are you saying the loony right is innocent on that score? Also most of the people you are blaming for atrocities, ie, Hitler Stalin etc were not left wing. They were murdering dictators who claimed to be socialists. In fact they were just the opposite.

    Your question is precisely your answer. As we have seen recenty the AlP and Libs are now ver much brining their policy alignment closer to the centre than ever before. Never again will we see heavily union dominated political parties or heavily buisness orientated parties. Howard killed the Libs and they deserve to wallow in their far right mistake for as long as it takes for them to realise they can only be a successful government if they ride the centre, centre right policy line.

    The ALP, with Rudd on the centre left has driven the Libs out of town because of their genuine ability to govern for almost ALL AUSSIES.

    they are nevertheless amazingly appropriate into the criminal and parliamentary gadget. No regulation turns into enacted till signed by utilising the king/Queen. After an election the hot priminister has to circulate to the Queen and ask fro permission to form a central authority. The Queen remains head of the living house of lords that's above the living house of Commons the place the priminister sits in terms of power. devoid of the Queen we'd be a republic that's greater companies to revolutions. nevertheless the money they acquire from the standard public is somewhat lots at situations. that desires to be reviewed. besides the reality that that's adequate to hide protection and residing expenses which no longer for relaxing. they simply could desire to scale it down somewhat/lot. undergo in concepts the united kingdom isn't a real democracy neither are many countries that think of they are. the united kingdom is a monarchy and we are royal matters no longer voters. in spite of if that's acceptable or incorrect who's wide-unfold with. The Priminister gets an entire load of money to himself for residing expenses too so any chief takes from us.

    I think the answer lies neither left, right, nor center, but on a different wing: libertarianism, with a little socialism. I've heard it called "Liberaltarianism."

    Hi Ted, Hope this Christmas and New Year worked out OK for you and yours. I make my living from working Overseas. I was as worried as Hell when Howard had the reins. Ask any person that works Overseas on a regular basis (Not the guy that goes to Bali once a Year) they will tell You the same thing. I am so glad that Labor has got in. I feel trust in them and know they will do their best to get me out in a sticky situation if it should result.(Kidnap etc). A Big chunk of our money comes from Aussies being Overseas in Services etc. Those that have never been in these situations, Don't bother to comment, as an armchair critic, drink your Fosters and watch TV. Thank God for Labor

    cmdband, Get your dull head around the question. Are You a tugger for the Liberal???? Party or just Dummmmm?

    Not at all.

    Left wing creates Communism and see how many people they killed in the history already.

    Awwww, isn't that sweet. I don't want my government "caring" for my every need, I want a government that stays out of my business as much as possible.

    Define terms such as compassionate, left and right more clearly and we'll talk.
