In politics, centre-left is an adherence to views between left and centre on the left-right political spectrum. The centre-left promotes a degree of social equality that it believes is achievable through promoting equal opportunity.
The centre-left opposes a wide gap between the rich and the poor and supports moderate measures to reduce the gap, such as a progressive income tax, laws prohibiting child labour, minimum wage laws, laws regulating working conditions, limits on working hours, laws to ensure workers' right to organize. The centre-left, unlike the far-left, typically claims that equality of outcome is not possible, but that equal opportunity improves social equality in society.
In Europe, the centre-left includes social democrats, social liberals, progressives and also some democratic socialists and greens.
