Looks like some have to the come conclusion that the problem in “1984” was the dangerous lack of surveillance. This is a left-wing (Labour) government, btw.
Stuff like this is why I no longer want regulations to protect us from big tech. Thank you very much.
Oh?
Oh.
Neoliberal is not “left wing“.
Thank you. Needed to be said.
What would be a left-wing party in the UK?
I think Labour were left wing before, but they were compromised by right-wingers and now they are about as right wing as our right wing mainstream party, the conservatives.
Pro-Israel, arresting activists, cutting welfare and disability benefits. I like to call them Forced Labour.
absolutely. in no way do they represent their namesake in 2026.
basically red tory.
green, maybe lib dem?
In what way?
sorry, are you asking in what way a party like green would be considered left wing in the UK?
Ok, yeah. Stupid question. I mean: In what way are they left, but labour isn’t?
Labour focus on an economy that is for business. They think that austerity leads to growth (somehow). They basically sell themselves as neo liberals with a heart, but that heart isn’t in control of much.
Greens as like the Labour of old. They focus on an economy that serves the population. They want to redistribute wealth away from corporations and banking, towards the rest of us, and services for the rest of us.
