@WhimsicalQuandary No, I mean just that, socialized government in the effect that the government handles many duties that normally over here in the US we would be responsible for, such as health care, expansive welfare programs, large percentage of the work force being employed in the public sector, large involvement/regulation of the buisness sector, etc. Basically a government that is involved in much of your life.
All of them were and are rightist. Britain hasn't had a left-wing government for decades.
Yes they have universal healthcare but so does every single industrial nation in the world other then Mexico and America. I even Italy and France whose governments are currently the furthest to the right have UHC.
But of course the far-right in Europe is fascist parties like BNP,Front National and Lega Nord. Everything else is to the left your Republicans.
@WhimsicalQuandary Thatcher was a conservative, not right-wing. Right wing is the BNP. If you think your current government in your country is right wing, then your so far left that you've effectively fallen off the cliff of reality.
@WhimsicalQuandary Doesnt seem to be right-wing to me. More like your usual, jelly-spined politician with a conservative slant. The BNP is right-wing, with their usual nationalism and racist agenda. Someone like the Neo-Nazi's here in the US are far-right, but even then, they still show some leftist tendencies (nazis where socialists, after all), by supporting the Occupy movements. Lately, "far-right" seems to be whatever the left defines it to be.
Police in Britain actually do have guns in many cases and have no qualms with using them. Not so long ago the police stalked and shot a Brazilian electrician 7 times in the head for being a bit tan and then lied and said he was a suicide bomber that had resisted arrested.
But of course all the authoritarian cunts want to see every single cop carry a gun and to give them even more power because it gives them a big fascist erection to have heavily armed thugs walking the street.
@WhimsicalQuandary No, I dont want heavily armed thugs, I want police (and myself) to have the ability to at least deter crime. Guns make people civilized as your a lot less likely to try to mug, rob, or rape someone who may have a fire arm. In cities where women are allowed to have concealed weapons, rape falls significantly. Just because people have fire arms doesnt automatically equate to a fascist police state like you lefties imagine.
The joys of socialized government. Non-existant police and anti-gun laws that guarantee that robery is a save, profitable occupation in the UK.

"Socialized government" as opposed to what, Anarchist government?
That's like saying "spiritual religion" or "wet water".

Are you saying conservative capitalists aren't right-wing? Cameron is a right-wing cunt right to his rotten Eton educated Thatcherite core.
If the right-wing politicians aren't right-wing then who is?
Other then the "far-right nationalists"(AKA neo-nazis) like the BNP that is.

Yes and in this country healthcare coverage is 100% and the financial cost to the population is less.
