The BBC is reporting on the elections in the European Union this evening, showing a shift towards center right parties. Filling the void of right wing voices from the United States, most European countries shifted away from socialists towards center-right parties.
The governing parties in France and Germany and Italy have held up reasonably well (all conservative-leaning), but elsewhere there's been a shift. In the United Kingdom, the Labor party took a beating. Zapato's Spanish socialist party took a drubbing. Portugal turned away from the socialists as well.
Apparently, the European people in large part are starting to reject that which the liberal Democrats in America are starting to embrace. Good for them.
Way to go Europe. It's a good day for common sense.
