*I think it is more accurate to call the Labour Party a social democrat party rather than a democratic socialist party. While there are still elements with the party that could still be described as socialist, very few of the party's objectives match the definition. They are recognised as being centre-left much like other parties in Europe and social democrat is the label that is typically applied to this part of the political spectrum. They would be closest to the Democrats if an American comparison had to be made. I will make this minor change if nobody objects. [[User:Ajkgordon|Ajkgordon]] 13:16, 9 October 2007 (EDT)

::Ajkgordon, although I agree with the essence of what you are saying, I think it is also worth noting that the Labour party does use the term "democratic socialist" to describe itself - see [http://www.labour.org.uk/how_we_work]. Many Labour party members would be proud to emphasise that term, so I don't personally think it's misleading. [[User:OurMike|OurMike]] 13:37, 9 October 2007 (EDT)
