cool video, but I'm distracted by your slighty Andrew Tate-esque accent 😭

The main difference is the US left is just as religiously based as the UK right- if not even more so. The most left leaning Democrats are still very 1920s orthodox Christian and have very outdated religious based views

btw reform want a US style insurance based system which, as difficult as the NHS is to manage, would be disastrous for hundreds of reasons

didn't the minimum wage go up under the labour budget... yesterday? is it fair to say that Labour haven't pledged to increase the minimum wage - hasn't it gone up in all 3 budgets post the 24 GE?

Goatlorde :
giving a point far left for trying to raise the minimum wage to less than what the far right are trying to stay at seems way too far since even the right wants a higher relative wage not for it to lowered to below $15

The Lib Dems are a centrist party. They aren’t left of Labour, if they were they wouldn’t have formed government in 2010

lib Dems aren't left of labour, they're a centrist party, centre-left but they still pick up some labour and conservatives voters

This really demonstrates the issue that a lot of left leaning US voters have with the Democrats. They’re left leaning socially in many ways, but economically they are actually extremely right in most ways.

I think your scale of left to right for the UK is a bit skewed, I would definitely put the lib dems between labour and the tories

Mir :
the problem is you have to take the us dems at their word that they actually want to do all the stuff they say and that if you elect them they will do it. which hasn't been the case generally, certainly not for national politics

The Democrats are socially more left wing but economically more right wing than equivalent parties in Europe

I think the world is more complicated than left and right. and that keeping these as identifiers just makes things worse in terms of extremes. both countries need to learn to be able to talk about policies without fear of being banded as a camp. we need more political education

So there is a few problems with this. Being pro-2A is both a right and left thing as it’s common for Communist to be in favor of the 2A. B, you completely ignore immigration and many other social issues like disability rights which America is left of the UK in due to the ADA. C, You act like The UK has the only form of universal healthcare which is the actual problem with getting it as we can see in Europe alone each country does have its own thing going and the UK’s is definitely not the best nor would it be the best for a federalist system like the USA (Germany has a better system for the USA and Switzerland has one that more American would get behind). D, lastly the proportional system in the UK is objectively worse than America’s system both in terms of representation due to first pass the post and because it’s supposed to be a union which is partially why Northern Ireland, Scotland and Cymru all have prominent Secessionist movements.

Lib Dems are mind numbingly centrist. At best they are slightly left of centre

I think the biggest problem with this is the comparison between a federalist 2 party system and a parliamentary one. The “official” Democratic Party platform is what the center to right of the Democratic Party believes, however the Democratic Party is a huge tent that encompasses views from manchin to AOC. These people are both in the same tent and that absolutely would not be true in a multi party system

just to be clear medical cannabis has been legal in the UK for a while, the status qué already allowed for it to be prescribed substance without legal changes
