Why "Leftie"

While economic inequality and workers' rights remain important issues, modern capitalism has created new challenges, such as the gig economy, automation, and the concentration of wealth in the hands of a small number of billionaires. Many people feel that traditional left-wing movements and parties have not kept pace with these changes or proposed effective solutions.

This has led to a rise in grassroots movements and new left-wing parties, which prioritise issues such as participatory democracy, transparency, and accountability.
