Dude I'm from America and follow politics all the time. I watch news all the the time and never and I mean never heard of democrats being labeled centre right. Republicans are considered on the right and Democrats are considered to be on the left. You have far right republicans and far left democrats,then you have your moderate republicans and moderate democrats. Your profile saids that your from the U.K.,so I ask you this. How often do you really follow american politics? |
Regrettably, I have to agree with Homer here. Seriously, your democrats are not left wing. They're just close enough to the centre that, in comparison to the Republicans, they seem left-wing. Obama is very very slightly left wing, I'll grant you that, but even he pales (as such) in comparison to our socialists, and he is overruled by the rest of his party, and especially the Republicans.
If anybody here thinks Obama is a socialist, please go read up on the new leader of the Labour Party, Ed Miliband.
