Tommy Sheridan and the Scottish Socialist Party are in favour of a traditional unsubtle wealth-redistribution taxation policy. I disagree with them, but it's good for them to be standing, and to be gaining significant parts of the vote, because that way my preferred party (Labour or Lib Dem, depending on my mood) looks like being moderate.
In the US, conversely, it's a battle between Republicans and Democrats, with Naderites as weird fringe loonies. I know which country I'm happier living in.
