It is the reason something is state run that is key. After 2008, certain banks were nationalised to prevent them bringing down capitalism and free markets - hardly left wing. If the reason something is state run is because of a political ideology that is allied to “owning the means of production” then it is left wing. Health and education have, to various degrees, been state run but not necessarily for left wing reasons - a healthy and well educated population has a positive impact on the economic well-being of a capitalist country.

I don't disagree that sometimes left/ right wing policies have to be implemented for a variety of reasons. True free market folks would let at least one bank fail (Northern Rock) as a form of regulation. This didn't work so a left wing policy was used as without it the free market would run riot at the expense of the people. I'm sure there are some MP's that will shrug their shoulders at that thought. Thankfully a good mix of right and left seems to be a good way to go.
 
I've always felt this is as good a definition as any regarding left/right wing intricacies.

Interesting to see what they do now. Berger leaving isn't a shock considering the way she's been treated within her own party.
 
Chris Leslie is my MP, will be interesting to see what happens.
 
You can see why they wouldn’t go to a by election though - there’s clearly space for a centrist party, with how poor both labour and the tories are at the moment, this gives them time to get a new party established and let people know what they stand for rather than just being people who quit labour.

If Labour aren't going to put a convicted liar up for election why should they?

The hypocrisy is frightening. I'll be happy when the far left is crushed.

You don't think they should stand again?! Really?

The 'far left' that brought you univesal health care and education?

I await your usual right wing bully-boy response.
