It.... Doesn't?

Here's a bunch of stuff:

  • Heavily subsidised / free education
  • Healthcare subsidised / costs capped at yearly max of a couple of $100
  • Decent paid parental leave, minimum 20 weeks
  • hmm... I realised that I don't care. Usually I'd delete my comment. Meh

Well to be fair, to fight over who the real leftist is and what the end goal should be, is as left as it can get.
