Paul McCartney’s official Reddit account seems to have been banned. The account, u/paulmccartney, had just dropped a set of photos and videos from the first night of his shows at the Fonda Theatre. It went straight into the r/PaulMcCartney subreddit. Then, not long after, the whole thing disappeared.

Well... The "wing" of a parliament very roughly represents a political compass. Liberals aren't left-wing anymore by virtue of having more politically left parties that occupy those physical seats today.

It does create a very funny situation like here in Denmark where "Venstre" (literally The Danish word for "Left") is a right-wing political party. More right-wing than "Liberale Alliance" (Danish Liberal Party).

But Venstre used to be the left-wing party when it formed. Since then, green parties, socialist parties, communist parties, and various parties adjacent to those ideologies, have formed to occupy the left side of the parliament seats, pushing Venstre's physical seating position all the way to the right side.

With liberals and moderates being more politically left than them, Venstre now sits right next to the most conservative parties of Denmark. They're still keeping the name, though.
