Centre-left

The centre-left (or center-left), also known as left of center, is a political term commonly used to describe or denote individuals, political parties or organisations (such as think tanks) whose views stretch from the centre to the left on the left-right spectrum, excluding far left stances.

Ideological definition of the centre-left
The centre-left includes social liberals, social democrats, progressives and also some democratic socialists and greens (in particular the eco-socialists). Centre-left supporters accept market allocation of resources in a mixed economy with a significant public sector and a thriving private sector. Centre-left policies tend to favour limited state intervention in the economy in matters pertaining to the public interest. The centre-left also often favours moderate environmentalist policies and generally, though not universally, supports individual freedom on moral issues whereas the centre-right believes it is the government's role to enforce morality.
