Just to provide essential balance...

I am mostly left of centre on key social and economic policies,
but I will argue that 'law n order' issues are not just a monopoly for flog em and hang em tories..

It matters to all of us..
there is no shame for lefties to agree with the right on 'harsher' sentencing solutions..

In fact my views on dealing with terrorists and criminals are probably even more extreme
than a lot of conservatives would be comfortable agreeing with...

Providing we abide by decent humane conditions for prisoners and probationers..
Aspiring for realistic long term rehabilitation training..
But accepting and accommodating lost cases where this is never a possible outcome

We all need and will benefit from mature rational pragmatic debate on these issues..

Traditional typical left v right knee-jerk reactions help nobody...
