In politics, the centre left of the political spectrum roughly comprises European social democrats, progressive liberals and moderate greens. Centre Left supporters accept the capitalist market economy but advocate a mixed economy with a significant public sector and also a private sector. Centre Left policies tend to favour limited state intervention in the economy in what is seen as the public interest.

The Centre Left also often favours environmentalist policies.
