What did it mean before then?
As I said, things change.
Before then? It stood for general democratic desire and the idea that people should have the power over government rather than the old establishments. And before that... the concept of left and right didn't exist. Since they came up during the French Revolution when the revolutionary members sat on the left side of the assembly in Versailles, opposite the supporters of the old regime on the right side.
Like... are you talking about ideological drift? In that case, all political forces have moved towards the right since the 80s. Most prominent in the US, where our "left" party is actually center right
I'm really not trying to dunk on you when I say this: you've fundamentally misunderstood the left-right political theory. A previously left-wing party can drift to the right and vice versa. A party called the "lefty left socialist communist hippy party" can be made up completely of right-wingers, and that doesn't change the definition of left and right. I won't try and explain the definitions of political left and right to you because there are almost definitely better explanations out there than I could give. I just implore you to find an impartial, unbiased explainer.
