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)

They are not Leftist. Unions are also tied into the Conservates, does that make the Conservatives leftists? The socialists left the Labour party ages ago and formed the Socialist Labour party. all parties court the unions as unions are bulk votes. The last real union guy John Prescott stepped down as the deputy primeminister last year and it still a minister but will be leaving at the next election.
The whole reason they remarked themselves and changed their direction was due to them realising to win an election they had to be honest Conservatives as the Conservative Party in the UK had two of its members in prision and tons of sleaze allegations against them. --EllisUSA 20:16, 19 August 2008 (EDT)
