Not confusing. The trouble with political parties is that they assume everybody buys into a whole swathe of unrelated policies. The labels themselves make no sense, Thatcher was essentially libertarian Conservative and is called right-wing, Griffin presumably is authoritarian revolutionary and is called right-wing.

http://www.politicalcompass.org/ points out the absurdity of calling both Gandhi and Stalin leftists and has an amusing test to see where you fit in. It's also fun to set yourself a target - Hitler, for example - and see how close you can get to him by lying (hopefully).
