Remember the Tories are more equivalent to the Democrats in the States when regarding political location. Left vs Right isn't the same between the UK and US as the Right in the UK is where the Left in the US sits.
Having lived in both countries I can say there is not as much difference between them as there seems to be when you've only directly experienced it from one side of the atlantic.
Both are full of uniparty compromisers that do nothing but adopt their opposition's policy so they can say they're cool and hip and trendy.
There's a much bigger difference between the opposition: In the US democrats, commies like bernie get shafted by their own party in rigged primaries. In the UK labour party, a guy who literally cosplays as Lenin actually made it to party leader and ran in the general election.
In the UK labour party, they actually call eachother comrade.
Yes, this is actually, fairly unironically, true...
Out of all the main Anglo countries, I... Actually can't think of one (which still claims to be a "democracy", at least) where that doesn't apply.
I think NZ's conservative party (the Nationals) MIGHT be slightly more "actually conservative", but idk, tbh...
In Australia, at the state level, it sort of applies... But even then, only reeeealllly in Qld, the NT and WA, which are the three most "conservative" jurisdictions, anyway...
But compared to Yankeestan? Yeah, every major party in all other Anglo countries are "left wing"...
Except maybe the Caribbean states, or fucking Africa. Don't really know enough about the situation in those places to tell...
Oh and Singapore, which is, quite literally, "benevolent fascist", and pretty much a one party state, lol...

Both halves of the uniparty are far-left in all the anglo countries.
