Good News from France and the UK

[Rev. Rye]

How non-conservative is the labour party, because everything I was reading labeled them as conservative.

Labour’s politics are… complicated. The name suggests a socialist party, and, indeed, there’s a good-sized portion that are. But there’s a lot of factions within it. Some are truly based and left-wing (Jeremy Corbyn was one), but some are more centrist (New Labour definitely was, and PM Keir Starmer seems to be trending that way.) And despite the general rule that the European left is usually a lot further left than America, even the British left seems to have yet to come around to certain issues (trans rights being one of the most glaring examples.)

Basically, at the moment, they’re less conservative and more closer to the center than is probably ideal.
