Comment on Why are people downvoting the MediaBiasFactChecker not?
randon31415@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoI always remember when I learnt that the liberals of Australia were the conservative party, and that labor was to the left of them. Every country seems to have a different spectrum.

Oh for sure. You’ve got to look at the ideology under the hood.
Party names are really just names. In Sweden, vänsterpartiet (left party) are communists (former name vänsterpartiet kommunisterna during the soviet era). In Denmark there’s venstre (left) which are liberal conservatives.
Even our most economically right wing party (the moderates) are to the left of the US Democrats in that area.
