I don’t know shit about politics. All I know is that in the UK the Labour party won, and the Conservative party lost.

I read some protestors are protesting against racism. What is this about? Protesting against new party that just won? I thought the Labour party was left-wing, meaning they are more on the social-equality side? I’m lost.

    Edit: improved wording, a bit

    The Labour Party is “left-wing,” as in that they are similar to the Democrats being “left,” but in reality they are republican-lites (conservative-lite).
