European countries compared to Canada and US in ideology

[EPG]

So in sum, I think that, while saying Sweden is clearly more left wing than the US - in most countries, you would have to find someway of identifying the hot button political topics, and then find some way to control for that to judge whether a country is more or less right wing.

Thank you. The only thing to add is it's hard to compare a federal country (Canada, USA) to unitary ones (most of Europe, even the UK).
