 I've seen it mentioned in the thread somewhere, but can someone explain to me why a preference for "alternative" medicines is classed as a left-wing stance?

Because it's popular among populations traditionally considered left (i.e., not gun toting religious conservatives).

What you're doing, incidentally, is an example of partisan exclusionary tactics. "My side can't be bad, it's rational!"

I live in the UK where proper healthcare is provided to the patient without cost*, so alternative medicine has always been a grey area with regards to its political lean.


*not counting other details but still
