No mention by you of Hardie, Atlee, Bevan, Foot, Tony Benn etc I see.

The perception of the Conservatives is skewed by the right wing press not wanting to protray them as being very right wing and this is exacerbated by the state broadcaster following Labour over to the right in Blair's years and being desperate to pitch themselves between Labour and the Conservatives and as a result only giving right wing views and rarely views from the middle ground as put forward by the likes of Plaid and the SNP.

The Conservatives being economically right wing is borne out by their austerity policies resulting in foodbanks and homelessness.
I will admit of being more centrais, t and yep I'd could never seen Benn , Foot or Corbyn delivering a political vision or choice I'd like , and I think a lot of labour voters think the same .
