right-wing = evil, left-wing = good

You need to go back to your Politics 101 course: you have the wrong axis.

Economic policies are one way to analyse politicians, and leads to the left-right dichotomy. The analysis that I take into account, however, is authoritarian-liberal. That axis is perpendicular to left/right.

There are plenty of left-leaning and right-leaning politicians who are authoritarian (after all, telling people what to do is very likely to attract those people!). Fortunately, there are also some left-leaning and right-leaning politicians who are liberal. Not enough, though.

ANPR should be banned, or at least limited to destroying all data after at most 24 hours.
