The socialist party is indeed further left than the Labour, but not that far. The state-directed economy is not any more favored by the socialist party, subsidies for industries exists even under American republicans and they call for a higher percentage of taxes on the highest revenue bracket because, with inderect taxes, the low earners are those who end up paying the most taxes compared to their income, not because they want to harm the richest ones (to be honest, there are some socialists who despise wealth, but they are a minority).
