Across Europe, the Left is Waning

[War on Want]

As I've been saying, Europe is a great place these days. 

You think Far-Right parties are a good thing? I am sure you would agree the European Left>the European Far-Right.

Read the damn article. This has nothing to do with far right parties. The Conservatives in the UK aren't far right. The PdL in Italy isn't far right. The CDU in Germany isn't far right.

If you didn't do your usual knee jerk reaction, you'd see that the article actually highlights that the conservative parties in Europe have actually even moved a bit to the left (something I'm not a fan of but I still prefer them to European Left wingers).

Oh I know but the mainstream right in Europe has seemed to have gotten significantly more centrist lately. This could be because the pendulum has shifted towards the right but I know from following European politics that lots of the anti-authority momentum that would normally go to the Left during a recession went to the Far-Right this time.

No need to get so angry man, I was just pointing that out.

I wonder if David Cameron gets called a "CINO"?

Actually, he comes close to it. My distaste for Cameron is pretty well known. He comes across as a total phoney. He likes playing that Moderate Hero game and it will catch up to him.

You suggested that I thought far right parties are good. No where was that mentioned or hinted in my post.

I see, I am sorry it came off that way. I know you dislike the far-right.
