@Aldo2 yeah, that fits

@Aldo2 they don't try to contain them

@mer
I'm going mostly of their manifesto.
Nationalizing rail, Great British Energy, minimum wage increase, ending zero-hour contracts for example.
Also the promised migration restrictions didn't really happen.

@mer Politics is a spectrum and a game of compromise, compromising on some issues to gain power doesn't immediately turn you into your ideological opposite

@mer I do I agree that Corbyn got weirdly benched. Seemed like an internal power struggle.
The party has definitely moved towards the center, but from my more right wing perspective they're soc dems trying to widen their voterbase.

@flashre I didn't mean sex, I mean just emotionally

@mer I can see the argument that they are ineffective at passing meaningful leftwing economic policy, but, especially before Starmer, from the promises they make, the language they use/moral foundations they appeal to and their target voter base, they seem fairly leftwing to me.

@flashre don't fall for it, the initial hit never lasts

@mer Why? Their program seem pretty leftwing to me. Do you mean the slight shift to the right with Starmer (which imo is just lipservice)

@mer Basically all the UK parties are various degrees to the left
