I'm pretty sure Labour is like our center left

conservatives center right

reform is our far right

Liberal Democrat is our far left

The rest are what we would write off as "third parties", except they actually get some representation across the pond lol

I'm not very familiar with UK politics, but are the Liberal Democrats far-left? It doesn't look like it, at least by European standards.

Lib Dems are traditionally the centrist party

Not at all. Last time they got a sniff of power they used it to prop up the Tories.

Lib Dems are soft left, neoliberals with a smattering of "maybe racism is bad, maybe welfare is ok".

The Tories and Labour have both shifted far, far to the right. Both are opposed to immigration, tax rises, workers rights, trans rights. Tories took it further with the Rwanda plan, which Labour opposed but did not promise to do anything about.
