Agreed.

Agreed again: the risk -think of Sarkozy's ... what is its name, 
EVIDGE?- is clear and present.

If it were only supported by /right-wing/ parties ... however, data 
retention and such was vastly supported by both PSOE and PP -and 
actually I don't remember whether there was any Spanish party rejecting 
it-; what happened in Europarliament:

/Socialists/ and /populars/ joined to get the 2006/24/EC directive 
passed; do I have to guess that not only EPP-ED would be the 
/right-wing/, but also the /Socialist/ group? I think we have few 
possible options here:

- all parties are /right-wing/ parties -there are people in Spain with 
that opinion; one only has to visit meneame.net, barrapunto.com and such 
webs to check it-
- not all parties are /right-wing/ parties (and in this case, the 
confusion you talk about is not only due to /right-wing/ parties; 
actually, I disagree with those tags as I believe that parties which use 
them usually don't observe the ideological premises they imply)

Unless I forget any other option, those would be, and I choose the 
second as the valid one. Regards,
