Not British but it I'm pretty sure Labour is in power right now which should be centre-left but the party has sort of bait-and-switched everyone into a right wing party

Labour has been kinda authoritarian for quite some time.

Woah, I can't believe that the party the jumped head first into Iraq with the US turned out to be complete shit the next time they had power

I lived in Britain during the period leading to and after the Leave Referendum and, IMHO, Brexit was the consequence of amongst other things a very strong strain of prejudice and delusions of grandeur in British (especially English) society, rather than the cause.

The ill adjusted to the XXI century society and power structures were what caused Brexit, not the other way around.
