Centre-left politics, or
moderate left politics, is an adherence to views leaning to the
left 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.
