Bring key industries and services into public control, either through the state or more collective means. Thats kind of an essential one to qualify as left wing! Not even Bernie Sanders supports that but its dogma among the left in the rest of the world.

But even to be centre or centre-left, he didnt do enough on things like taxation or public services and welfare to qualify. He repealed oil and gas exploration bans, extended older tax cuts, and froze public sector pay. It was a right wing economic programme. He was a pretty standard liberal at the end of the day, neoliberal economics plus some gradual social liberalism.
