Centre-Left

Left of Centre politics or center-left politics (American English), also referred to as moderate-left politics, is an adherence to views leaning to the left-wing but closer to the centre on the left-right political spectrum than other left-wing variants. Centre-leftists believe in working within the established systems to improve social justice. The centre-left promotes a degree of social equality that it believes is achievable through promoting equal opportunity. The centre-left has promoted luck egalitarianism, which emphasises the achievement of equality requires personal responsibility in areas in control by the individual person through their abilities and talents, and social responsibility in areas outside control by the individual person in their abilities or talents.

The centre-left opposes a wide gap between the rich and the poor and supports moderate measures to reduce the economic gap, such as a progressive income tax, laws prohibiting child labour, minimum wage laws, laws regulating working conditions, limits on working hours, and laws to ensure the workers' right to organise. The centre-left, unlike the far-left, typically claims that complete equality of outcome is not possible, but instead that equal opportunity improves a degree of equality of outcome in society.

In Europe, the centre-left includes social democrats, social liberals, greens, progressives and also some democratic socialists. Some social liberals are described as centre-left, but also many social liberals are in the centre of the political spectrum.
