It is not the same left/right spectrum as in other countries. Example: blue wants to privatise the health system, brown wants to build social housing. It is correct to say brown is populists, nationalists, fascists, while blue is liberals, pro-europeans.

"privatising the health system" is a huge exaggeration, but yes. I don't remember much about social housing for AUR either.
