Across Europe, the Left is Waning

[You kip if you want to...]

So David Cameron = Evan Bayh?

I just realised how similar they are just seconds before reading this post. Evan is by far less obnoxious than Cameron though.

Yeah, I know, I know.    He just seems like more of an opportunist when it comes to his ideology than anything.

Very true.

First of all, there doesn't seem to be much difference between the"left" wing and the "right" wing parties in Europe these days anyway. Second, most of the so called "far-right" parties tend to be fairly left wing on the economic issues.

     The thing that receives little notice nowadays is that the fascists (which many far-right European parties are modeled on) tended to have fairly leftist economic views.

Exactly. The BNP have this crazy idea of abolishing the income tax (which is one of the few economic issues thaey would be considered "right wing" on) while spending through the roof on healthcare, pensions, defence, etc.

Not to mention the grants they'd be giving out to non-white to leave.

I'd say UKIP are the furthest to the right here in the UK, they have libertarian economic policies and fairly social conservative views too.

The BNP are far, far more to the right, certainly on social issues.
