center-left
Left of middle
Center-left describes political positions that are moderately progressive—left of center but not radically so.
Center-left parties typically support regulated capitalism, social welfare programs, and gradual reform rather than revolutionary change: The Democrats are a center-left party by American standards, though they'd be centrist in Europe.
Often hyphenated when used as an adjective before a noun.
