Looks like some have to the come conclusion that the problem in "1984" was the dangerous lack of surveillance. This is a left-wing (Labour) government, btw.

Stuff like this is why I no longer want regulations to protect us from big tech. Thank you very much.

sorry, are you asking in what way a party like green would be considered left wing in the UK?

[-] General_Effort@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Ok, yeah. Stupid question. I mean: In what way are they left, but labour isn't?

Labour focus on an economy that is for business. They think that austerity leads to growth (somehow). They basically sell themselves as neo liberals with a heart, but that heart isn't in control of much.

Greens as like the Labour of old. They focus on an economy that serves the population. They want to redistribute wealth away from corporations and banking, towards the rest of us, and services for the rest of us.
