VIP #1: IS THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM DATED

In university, the way that they teach politics is that there is a left and a right. This is what is referred to as the political spectrum in political ideologies class. In their attempt to teach such concept to students, they intrigue them to align with either side. Left means communism followed to the right by socialism and then liberalism in the center which is then preceded with conservatism on the center right and then fascism on the right. It is clear that these ideologies contrast one another. In the universities attempt to teach these concepts, students fall into the trap of aligning themselves with one. But I think there is a new form of political ideology that has not been yet explored. This is because it is difficult to categorize. Hear me out. This belief likes parts from the left such as the welfare state and free medical care and parts of the right which prefers capitalism and the military. Is this the future of politics? Picking and choosing? I believe the only solution for political scientists is to individually vote on each policy that are enacted. Voting on each policy can improve political participation. This could allow politicians to not be stuck following one ideology. Of course, voting on each policy would be tedious and expensive but, perhaps we could find a way to implement this. Maybe having an online platform so people can vote for each policy could be a streamlined way of enacting such process. Imagine, that the liberal tears AKA Justin Trudeau is thinking about making university free for all citizens. What his party would do, seeing as they are the government in power, is go to the computer and create a poll so that people can vote on it. This would increase the adaptability of our political system and allow for increased political participation. Having such online platform can lead to an informed public.
