Hi cenotaphium! No, no mention of Sweden. But, yes, it does note that the blocs are still very close - when all is said and done. It also points out that conservatives in Europe are a little more left than those here in the U.S.

Indeed they are. However, mostly on a country-by-country basis. Sweden is probably an outlier. Our right-most party (excluding the budding racist fringe) is much left of your Democratic Party. The general feeling is that the scale (be it ours or others) is very warped - and it’s a pain in the backside when you’re online and everyone still uses the same terminology yet it means something completely different.

Then again, you seem to have the same problem, what with “liberal” needing the modifier “classical” to mean what we take it to mean over here.

I’m curious though, why the rejoicing of the falling (or failing) left in Europe?
