I am confused what the Labour parties ideological aim is, since the Labour party regards itself as democratic socialist but it is also left centre then how far are they willing to go into government state interferance in the economy? I know they are not extreme left and Tony Blair acts like a conservative where he keeps industries private, however I have read quite a few quotes by him before he came into power about a country can not instanty be created with socialism but socialism has to be created. Also he said before he came PM that he wanted to make the railway publicaly owned. How can Labour regard itself as Democratic Socialist if in a Democracy we now live in a mixed economy. Sorry about SPAG.

Don't forget, the UK still has a Queen! How are you going to get socialism in a country that still embraces a monarchy!!
btw the public transit system in the UK used to be publicy owned, but it was privatized under Thatcher

Focus on a specific question that we can answer without compounding questions with questions.
Try again please.
As to England's Labor Party, there is no true socialist party. What they want to certain, specific programs that benefit the good of the people, all people. This doesn't make you socialist, it makes you human.
England's Labor party is actually fairly moderate by today's standards.
