When did Europe go socialist? Did I miss the revolution? Or are you another Yank who thinks that the Euro crisis (which is not caused by the European governments, most of whom are center-right anyway) is DAH EBIL COMMIES?

Meh, I'd say places like Sweden are getting pretty close… Germany and the UK are centre-right, yeah, but the others (like France) really are sliding significantly the the left.

Europe is not socialist. Please don't use terms unless you know what they actually are, thank you.


I'm using that term as a generalization.

Mainly referring to France, Italy, and Greece.

Social democratic at best, and even then it's a stretch.

That term has a defined meaning, which does not apply to any of these countries. Also, it is not relevant.

You would support overturning bans on gay marriage and support laws making it legal?

"Just let people lead their own lives."

But some people won't and have passed laws banning gay marriage. Would you support getting rid of those and legalizing gay marriage so people can "lead their own lives"?
