Centre-left

The centre-left is a political position that is closer to the left wing than the right wing and shares some politically left views and positions, but is still generally in the centre of the political spectrum.

The term 'centre-left' is most used in continental Europe. In the UK the corresponding term might be social democrat or liberal left. The Blair government would be an example. In the USA the ideology is shared by the Democratic Party.^[1]^[2]
