I'd say Labour is still to the left of the Democrats. Let me put it this way. Bernie Sanders is, by global standards, a center-left conservative; by American standards, he's like Stalin's lost brother. American politics is so inclined to the right that they call Democrats "the left."

As a non-American, I have to admit that Americans' perception of politics baffles me a lot of times. The Democratic party *is* a center-right party with some people from the left, just because the American system makes a multi-party system very difficult, which would be beneficial for you, though

That's why I try to keep it going on the side. I can't let my passion and all these years invested in learning new things go to waste. It just doesn't feel the same.
