"Hard Left"

...because of the rhyme with “hard-line communism”?

Because we are talking about policies that will not quite turn the UK into...Norway.

Softening the impact of capitalism for more people. Softness.

Why not, for the sake of the beloved objectivity, an adjective to describe the Tory policies, discredited by at least three Nobel prize winning economists, not that anyone is listening?

What about rabid.
