Well, in Australia it basically is, yeah… Part of the problem is that people can have such different ideas of the terms “left” and “right” depending on their perspective… In the US, I don’t believe there even is a mainstream “left wing” party. The Democrats are obviously to the left, but I would say (trying to be objective) they’re mostly centre-right with a touch of identity politics. In Australia, our opposition has really moved from the centre left to the centre right as the party in Government has moved further right wing, mostly just over the last few years. We still have a left wing minor party, but they don’t get many seats yet.
