This is a very ironic turn of events. For years the American progressive movement has called for the US to be more like Europe. In 2008 Americans voted in a European style leftist regime. Meanwhile in Europe, voters have been shifting to the right as they are sick of high taxes, corruption and Islamic immigration.
Europe leans right as voters choose EU Parliament
BRUSSELS – Europe was leaning to the right Sunday as tens of millions of people voted in European Parliament elections, with conservative partieseconomic crisis. favored in many countries against a backdrop Rightwing, Euro Leftof
Opinion polling showed right-leaning governments with edges over their opposition in Germany, Italy, France, Belgium and elsewhere. Conservative opposition parties were tied or ahead in Britain, Spain and some smaller countries.
I wonder how the progressive movement will spin this. Europeans are rejecting multiculturalism, Islam and big government. Will they still say that America needs to be like Europe if this rightwing shift continues? I know one person who will be very upset that Europe is shifting to the right!
