The '''Labour Party''' is a [[United Kingdom|British]] political party which at its roots is [[Socialism|democratic socialist]]<ref>http://www.labour.org.uk/labour_policies</ref>. However since 1994 it has arguably moved very much to the centre of British politics under the guise of New Labour. The party still pays lip service to many typical [[left-wing]] values and, along with all the main political parties in the UK, is [[Pro-choice]] and pro-gay. Under the leadership of [[Tony Blair]] and through the usage of talented spin doctors such as [[Peter Mandelson]], the modern Labour Party has been accused of being an extremely deceptive PR machine; being highly dishonest in its dealings with the public and media.
