The Labour party is not leftist in anyway. If anything it is right of centre. The socialist left ages ago and formed the "Socialist Labour Party" with Arthur Scargill as it head.

I have deleted some trivial gossip regarding his haircut, clarified the section on his change in policy direction and provided the relevant link to the Conservative Party's website and to polling data regarding public opinion of Cameron & the Party. Given that he is likely to be the next PM but one following Blair and Brown this article is still very short, but I don't currently have time to expand it. Tracy C Copeland 08:33, 18 March 2007 (EDT)
Seeing as this is supposed to be a conservative encyclopedia, I have no idea why this article seems to be overwhelmingly biased against Cameron, while the Gordon Brown article (which lacks sources) is quite favourable towards Brown. Palace1 15:41, 11 January 2008 (EST)

The Labour party is not leftist in anyway. If anything it is right of centre. The socialist left ages ago and formed the "Socialist Labour Party" with Arthur Scargill as it head. The Labour party is also not predominately funded by the unions. The majority of its money comes from business. With the head of Sainsburys, Lord Sainsbury, being a major donator and also active Labour party member. --EllisUSA 18:21, 16 August 2008 (EDT)
- This Bloomberg article disagrees - two thirds of Labour Party funding comes from unions. The labour party was founded on leftist values, and continues to be a left-leaning party. The Labour party website proudly displays the minimum wage anniversary - the whole page. If you look at the links at the bottom of the page, you will see links to "Affiliated Trades Unions" and "Affiliated Socialist Societies". Its international affiliation is with Socialist International, which this section of the Labour party site describes as "the worldwide organisation of social democratic, socialist and labour parties." - I think we can safely label the Labour party as "leftist".
