I can't think of many ways they're left of Labour? Certainly not the current Labour party. They're much more liberal than Labour but that isn't hard

Well compromise is the only way they'll ever get into power. Like 2010 they'll have to compromise on some of their platform as part of getting into a coalition. I think people who vote for them can be sure of two things they'll want which is electoral reform and more liberal approach to human rights. Economically they're much more willing to concede most of that to the larger party.
