Not sure Betsy or Brian fit into the US paradigm of left vs right. They both seem to have a spattering of positions that cut across the political spectrum. Keeping in mind that the current leader of the Conservative Party in the UK (Borris Johnson) would in fact likely be considered a moderate or a bit left of center in the US context.
