    I’m pretty sure Labour is like our center left

    conservatives center right

    reform is our far right

    Liberal Democrat is our far left

    The rest are what we would write off as “third parties”, except they actually get some representation across the pond lol

      I’m not very familiar with UK politics, but are the Liberal Democrats far-left? It doesn’t look like it, at least by European standards.

      Lib Dems are soft left, neoliberals with a smattering of “maybe racism is bad, maybe welfare is ok”.

      The Tories and Labour have both shifted far, far to the right. Both are opposed to immigration, tax rises, workers rights, trans rights. Tories took it further with the Rwanda plan, which Labour opposed but did not promise to do anything about.
