Closer to the left than the right?

I enjoyed your article in the County Times about the rise of UKIP and its threat to the Conservatives. I was, however, slightly concerned about your initial disclaimer where you say that you ‘don’t support any political party - especially those on the right-wing extremes’.

Might this failure to mention any left-wing extremes suggest that you are perhaps closer to those left-wing extremes than you are to the right-wing extremes? A position not unknown in the media.
