| A left leaning British Economics magazine. Many on the FAR left think that it leans right, because the Economist isn't quite as rabidly anti-business and anti-economics as they are. But their views on Global Warming, Israel, American Conservatives/Republicans and other issues demonstrate they are not socially or fiscally conservative. |

Now in truth, they might be centrist by European (collectivist/anti-individualist) standards, but that makes them left-wing to Americans. Examples include:

Other positions include:
- They were against individualism/rights and opposed leaving the EU
- They do flip on some local election -- but they were for John Kerry, Barack Obama (twice), Hillary Clinton -- none of those were the conservative, right, or pro-economics positions to take. So for the last 20 years, they haven't been right/center on American candidates
- While they supporter Iraq Invasion in 2003... then they took the far left position after that, saying that this was one of their biggest mistakes (it wasn't)
- They're far left (and anti-economic) on Global Warming scare mongering
- They are pro-Drug legalization (which I agree with), but that's a left wing position
- They are pro-Same Sex Marriage (which I agree with), but that's a left wing position
- They are pro-Gun Control (anti-individual liberty and anti-Constitution)
Are you seeing a pattern? In Europe, left and right mean different things than in the U.S. -- but by the U.S. standard, they aren't conservative (either economically or socially), individualist, Constitutionalist, pro-Nationalist, or pretty much any of the things that Americans would call "right wing" or centrist.
