They must have a pretty extreme view of what qualifies as left wing. I can't imagine the green or liberal parties being right wing at any level.
It's relative. They're not right-wing as far as North American politics go, but put Stalin at the left end of the economic spectrum, and it makes sense. The Green Party doesn't want public ownership of everything...they still support a capitalist economy, but just an environmentally responsible one...
The Political Compass Economic Left/Right: 2.75 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 4.62 The Political Compass
I am way to lazy to upload the image, etc., so I'll tell you the numbers: Economic Left/Right: -5.12 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.69 So, obviously I am in the bottom left (green colored) quadrant. Pretty much next to composer Bela Bartok on the one chart they provide. That is funny, as he is my all-time favorite composer, and second favorite musician of all-time.
mine seems to be far left libertarian like most others around here... I'm surprised I ended up so close to Ghandi.
I actually thought the same of myself upon being placed in his "zone." However, I do share a lot of the same ideas as a good number of the others there, especially the artist/composer types.
