I consider myself left-wing.
I didn’t always. I used to think of myself as “slightly left of centre”.
I don’t think I’ve changed much. The world has. What we defined as “centrist” 20 years ago is now pretty left-wing. The window has moved right.
Vote left. It’s not even that left any more, it’s what we would have called “not totally insane” even when Reagan and Thatcher were in power.
