I forget where I read it, but there was a study comparing political platforms in the USA and Europe. Their conclusion was that a "normal" USA Democrat is to the right of a "normal" European conservative.

I'm a Lefty in the USA. The sad part from my POV is that the Left and the Right *need* each other to keep the other honest. If you live in a political-monoculture you typically end up with a worst-case-scenario.
