labour really isnt cnetr-left at all

2020-01-26 14:19:46 UTC  

You’re basing everything around your politics

2020-01-26 14:19:47 UTC  

Some joined the Lib Dems, the rest just shut up and went away

2020-01-26 14:19:51 UTC  

No, i'm not

2020-01-26 14:20:06 UTC  

Just like left wing nutters do

2020-01-26 14:20:06 UTC  

"Socialism and marxism are now centre-left" - Kunarian 2020

2020-01-26 14:20:11 UTC  

Lol

2020-01-26 14:20:20 UTC  

They aren't a full Socialist or Marxist party

2020-01-26 14:20:24 UTC  

No, they're not

2020-01-26 14:20:30 UTC  

how is this not about politics?

2020-01-26 14:20:46 UTC  

On Britain’s political compass Labour is the centre left and Conservatives are the centre right.

2020-01-26 14:20:50 UTC  

There are still many Centre Left people in Labour

2020-01-26 14:20:58 UTC  

Nevertheless, the centre of gravity within the labour party is not centre-left, it's moderately left

2020-01-26 14:20:59 UTC  

Just look at Kate Hoey from the last parliament

2020-01-26 14:21:10 UTC  

Kate Hoey sort is a minority

2020-01-26 14:21:15 UTC  

Just because you’re to the right of the Conservatives doesn’t mean they’re in the left Eccles

2020-01-26 14:21:24 UTC  

I'm not to the right of the conservative, i'm centre-left

2020-01-26 14:21:32 UTC  

Lol

2020-01-26 14:21:36 UTC  

This is how I know things have moved - my opinions haven't changed over time

2020-01-26 14:21:45 UTC  

I feel like you don’t know the definition of that phrase

2020-01-26 14:21:55 UTC  

Tell me. How are you centre left

2020-01-26 14:22:48 UTC  

I believe in equality of opportunity individual freedoms, a strong but carefuly prescribed and transparent state, and expansive social programs

2020-01-26 14:23:12 UTC  

I believe the free market should be protected, but regulated to keep it free for the purposes of serving the electorate (anti-corporatist)

2020-01-26 14:23:46 UTC  

I consistently come up as centre-left on any test you care to mention

2020-01-26 14:23:57 UTC  

Lol

2020-01-26 14:24:05 UTC  

Labour were centre-left until 2015

2020-01-26 14:24:13 UTC  

Lib Dems were centre-left until 2010ish

2020-01-26 14:24:32 UTC  

“Any test” ah yes the official legally recognised ideology tests

2020-01-26 14:24:45 UTC  

Pick you own authority then, Kunarian

2020-01-26 14:24:54 UTC  

Since you're claiming "you're not centre left, and labour is, because I say so"

2020-01-26 14:25:45 UTC  

They're perfectly allowed to hold whatever their opinions they like, but they're not centre-left

2020-01-26 14:25:49 UTC  

If you think all that is centre left then you’re wrong. Tbh you just sound like a wushu washy centrist with no strong principles from that description. Which is why you might think Labour were centre left but now the Conservatives are when you define yourself as centre left.

2020-01-26 14:26:07 UTC  

OK, Blair's Labour was far-right

2020-01-26 14:26:10 UTC  

Says you

2020-01-26 14:26:12 UTC  

Lol

2020-01-26 14:26:13 UTC  

i feel like expansive social programs is very left

2020-01-26 14:26:29 UTC  

Depends

2020-01-26 14:26:41 UTC  

depends on how invasive and specific they are

2020-01-26 14:26:54 UTC  

Is authoritarianism being taken into account and also the implementation matters

2020-01-26 14:26:57 UTC  

Blaire moved the labour party right-wards to the centre ground to make them electable
