MODERATORS
An overwhelming majority by seats but only 33% of the popular vote.
36% voted Tory/Reform so voters have not shifted left but split the more right wing vote
We already have the left wing vote split by Labour, Lib Dem and Green.
If you want to claim the 36%, you'll need to add up the left wing parties together.
Not left wing. Just left.
None of them are left wing (maybe Green has some left wing stuff?)
green is definately left wing, they're hardly anti immigration and pro-big business, anti environmental regulation, are they?
"no right wing talking points" is hardly left wing.
I have never heard of them be referred to as anything centrist. I don't know why you think they're not left wing, but from what I've heard from you in this thread, I don't particularly think learning about the mechanism of your mind is likely to give me any uplifting insights into humanity nor politics.
You know it's a sliding scale, right?
There's not just three choices.
There's Far-side, side-wing, side, side-leaning, center-side for both (plus center).
Then you have fiscal Vs moral lean on both sides.
