EU shying away from Socialists

Conservatives raced toward victory in some of Europe's largest economies Sunday as initial results and exit polls showed voters punishing left-leaning parties in European parliament elections in France, Germany and elsewhere.

Some right-leaning parties said the results vindicated their reluctance to spend more on company bailouts and fiscal stimulus amid the global economic crisis.

First projections by the European Union showed center-right parties would have the most seats — between 263 and 273 — in the 736-member parliament. Center-left parties were expected to get between 155 to 165 seats.

Right-leaning governments were ahead of the opposition in Germany, France, Italy and Belgium, while conservative opposition parties were leading in Britain and Spain.

Greece was a notable exception, where the governing conservatives were headed for defeat in the wake of corruption scandals and economic woes.

Germany's Social Democrats headed to their worst showing in a nationwide election since World War II. Four months before Germany holds its own national election, the outcome boosted conservative Chancellor Angela Merkel's hopes of ending the tense left-right "grand coalition" that has led the European Union's most populous nation since 2005.

They are learning....it took a while...

Now, I hope folks here open their eyes before it's too late and the damage is irrepairable...(It may be too late for the economy, between the free spending Bush and the current Obama-borrowing...)

After the damage that unfettered Capitalism and the Capitalist military-industrial complex has done to America, America RIGHTFULLY rejected unfettered Capitalism and the evils of it.


And "right wing" Europe is still FAR to the left of you, wildkyle.

America rejected a pre-emptive war that cost too much and did not produce immediate results, Jon.
