Happy to repost exactly the same link again as you seem to have overlooked it: http://www.labour.org.uk/page/-/Images/manifesto-2017/labour-manifesto-2017.pdf

Not sure what you define as "the Left" in the USA, sure isn't Hillary Clinton though.

That's the 2nd time you have willfully mistaken my wanting to see in writing a voice of the "Left" manifesto for the 'Labour' manifesto...
You are very soon to find out that Mr. Corbyn is hardly the voice of Labour or the 'Left' either.
{more likely the voice of the 'Dole'}
I'm not sure that the U.K. is about to make the right choice, but I myself will respect the will of it's people.
The membership here, has made it quite clear that it won't.
Considering that the collective voice of this sub-forum represents such a minority voice at large....I don't think much that will be said here will matter much.
Anyhow...buckle up...its gonna be a wild ride real soon.

Clearly I don't understand your definition of "left". In the UK Labour is considered to be the main left of centre party. I'm pretty sure all the UK posters here would agree on that much.

The policies in the Labour manifesto are considered left wing in the UK. In fact the right wing press continue to characterise them as "hard left", but compared with other countries they could be considered centre-left.

How would you define "left" then if you don't consider Labour to be "the Left"?
