No reactionary tag :(

About a quarter of the threads that end up being in such threads are about Reactionary stuff.

Somehow I was more surprised by the lack of "conservative," and "liberal"!

To be cheeky, I think "Liberals" might note that "Conservative" is covered by the "Authoritarian" tag and "Conservatives" would point out "Liberal" is covered by "Socialist".

Well, Democratic and Republican at least refer to a coherent set of opinions, whereas those have been totally confused and drifted and corrupted.

Funny thing is that I didn't parse Republican and Democratic as referring to party names, but as relating to republics and democracies.

Adding "Reactionary" would be fine I think. It made an appearance as a label on the alternative political identification version of Yvain's poll and 3% where ok with it.
