Pretty much.

> A left wing one?

Wouldn't say that. I like wealth redistribution and taxation as a tool of both economic empowerment and political equalisation.

I do have friends whom I'd consider left wing. I agree with them on many issues, from unionising bars to raising the minimum wage. I disagree with them on others, e.g. regulating everything for the sake of it.
