Remember too that what is "right wing" in Stockholm would be "left wing" in Houston.

Yeah. Of all those right-wing governments, which one would actually be right-wing by US standards? Any? Which one is the most right-wing? Still the Tories, even with Cameron? I'm unsure, need to think a bit.

I think the Spanish, British, Irish, Austrian (FPÖ), Swiss (SVP) and Eastern European right-wings would be in majority GOP. Part of the French, German and Italian ones too (anti-immigration stooges, harsh law-and-order guys or neoliberal hacks). The scandinavian right is most certainly democrat, so are probably the French and German mainstreams. Don't know Greece and Portugal enough to tell.


The MoDem would be doing far better if it wasn't some useless personality cult founded for and by an incompetent douchebag whose only purpose is to whine and complain about how everybody is bad and how, therefore, he is so great because he's not like everybody else but has no ideology otherwise. And the French centre has room to grow if it wasn't divided into 6 million rival parties whose only members are boring regional barons who think they're all presidential material.

Yeah, UDF's explosion turned out to be a real catastrophe for the French centre-right. Hopefully Sarko's rout in 2012 will push centrists to organize more efficiently and make the UMP more appealing to them.

Also, French Guyana should be red in 2000 and blue in 2011 (see France in the OP's map). Grin
