seriously I'm struggling here. I currently read NY Times and BBC with a very critical eye but it's fucking exhausting.

    How is the UK so based as to have Labour

    UK's Labour party is anything but based. They have "elected" a pro-austerity neocon nobleman that was a member of the Trilateral Commission as party leader. They're literally doing the same playbook the US is with the dems: when the current conservatives fuck everything up, it will naturally make voters gravitate towards the other, more competent conservatives. That is how politics works, I'm told.

      I see a major political party that identifies as demsoc and socdem, and claims to aim to socialize the entire economy, I’m gonna call it based.

      I will admit to knowing little-to-none about UK politics tho, haha, and I’m not at all surprised they’re overrun by neocons. Looking a little closer, I see they’ve largely abandoned the aim to nationalize the economy. Fuckin’ Blairites.
