    I’m lost now. Labour are economically left of centre (though arguably have been drifting more right) they’re all for nationalisation. It’s the conservatives (right of centre though moving further right recently and just a bit unhinged lately) that want everything privatised.

      Nope. I mean, the current Labor government’s whole deal has been austerity and cutting social services.

        Oh I see. Yes, maybe they’ve realised that getting seen like that isn’t helping, especially as they’ve been doing a lot to do with workers rights which clearly is going unnoticed if you think their “whole deal” has been cutting essential services and austerity. (though I’d argue that it’s not essential for people like my dad who’s on a final salary pension of about £35k plus his state pension to receive winter fuel allowance)
