places still list Labour as centre-left and as an outside observer i can't say i see it that way. i'm remembered of the 1970s when in the US the coal labor unions got so much power that the union leaders became the new bosses. they worked with the mine operators and the courts to keep the mines open even as the workers pled with them to do more and call a strike to get respirators so they'd stop dying of black lung (btw, black lung is part of the inspiration for white plague in one piece).
the labour party seems pretty right to me
Yeah, Labour are left in the same way that the Democrats are left, which is to say, they're not at all, but in the absence of truly left-wing parties, I guess they're slightly less far-right than the alternative(s).
