Labour on the political compass

The UK Labour Party is a centre-left party of public services and union roots, currently closer to social liberalism than to its more socialist past. It sits just left of centre, with a mild authoritarian tilt on the social axis.

Economic -2.2, social +1.0. That point lands in Social Liberalism.

Social liberalism accepts markets but wants them taxed and regulated to fund healthcare, education, and equal opportunity. It is left of centre economically and comfortable with personal freedom on social questions.
