Labour leader says UK public dislike ‘extremes of left or right’ in politics and promises to take centre ground
“As a nation, broadly speaking we’re a pretty reasonable, tolerant bunch but we are in the centre ground of politics. People don’t like the extremes of the right or the left. They are reasonably tolerant. They want themselves, their families and the country to improve and make progress,” he said.
“Those people are reasonable, tolerant and they do want their families to get on, their communities to get on, their countries to get on. This may reflect the fact that I came into politics late. I’ve never been in a tribe. It has not dominated my life for decades of my career.”
