Too many options for my American brain to comprehend, but congrats on becoming a multicolored beehive

If only they had as much freedom as us, to pick from 2 options

reksas ,

To me it seems like you have only one option, it doesnt at least look like there are many republicans who would vote for democrats on some election years or vice versa.

Ah now you're getting it!

ADTJ ,

We basically do, it's just that your two options depend on where you live, e.g. Scotland, Northern Ireland, etc. but for pretty much every seat there's only one or two people with a real chance of winning

I'm pretty sure Labour is like our center left

conservatives center right

reform is our far right

Liberal Democrat is our far left

The rest are what we would write off as "third parties", except they actually get some representation across the pond lol

I'm not very familiar with UK politics, but are the Liberal Democrats far-left? It doesn't look like it, at least by European standards.

Lib Dems are traditionally the centrist party

Blackmist ,

Not at all. Last time they got a sniff of power they used it to prop up the Tories.

kralk ,

Lib Dems are soft left, neoliberals with a smattering of "maybe racism is bad, maybe welfare is ok".

The Tories and Labour have both shifted far, far to the right. Both are opposed to immigration, tax rises, workers rights, trans rights. Tories took it further with the Rwanda plan, which Labour opposed but did not promise to do anything about.
