The Green Party won 40.7% of the vote on Friday in an election triggered when a member of parliament resigned for health reasons. Nigel Farage’s Reform Party came second with 28.7% of the vote and Labour finished third with 25.4%.
They’ve economically tiptoed towards the left, and have actually been doing some pretty good things (as you rightly point out) - but it’s their social policies which have shifted so far to the right - and generally that seems to be what we colloquially judge our left and right on.
Agreed, the social policies could be a lot better.
