Social democratic parties today

[Phony Moderate]

Let's take a look...

UK Labour - Divided as eff. Possibly heading for a general election result (be it under Corbyn or someone else) that is going to make 1931 look like...1931 from the Tories' POV...if you listen to the media anyhow. In a better state than Scottish Labour though!!!

Irish Labour - Misnamed party who have (even by their standards) comedic poll ratings. Currently in a close battle for fourth place with Trotsys.

SPD of Germany - Laughably uninspiring party, stuck at around 20% in the polls. No sign of forming a government led by itself this millennium.

French PS - Have the presidency and the president is about to come (at the very very best) a poor third to a crook and a fascist.

PASOK of Greece - Have been ousted by the hard left as the main alternative to the right. Only people who vote for them still are only doing it out of habit and/or ignorance of recent events.

New Zealand Labour - It's been quite literally a decade since a single opinion poll showed them in the lead. Have gone through various nonentity leaders. Lucky that FPTP is no more.

Canadian NDP - Probably in a better state than most on this list due to the realistic possibility (this IS Canada after all) that they could win the next federal election with 68% of the vote and all but two seats. Still, pretty sucky that, after decades of effort, their time in OO was so brief.


And there's various other examples of course, but I cannot be bothered.
