So Norway's going red, Germany's about to go red and soon one in three citizens of democratic European countries will live in a country with a Social Democratic government, compared to one in 10 at the end of 2018.
It's over guys, the left is dying, Social Democracy is dying. Muh. Global. Trends. 
Agreed, left is not dying, but in some countries most notably Netherlands, Italy, and France in big trouble. Treading water in Austria and while PASOK dead in Greece, SYRIZA trailing but not out of it. In UK Labour may be behind but far from dead, while Ireland which has never had a left wing government has left polling at record highs.
For those hoping to see a right turn, maybe Canada which has an election on September 20th, it may swing right, but far from certain. But if Norway, Canada, Germany, and Iceland all see government changes, that will be less about ideology and more about how pandemic is creating a strong anti-incumbency factor.
