Conservative 2.0?

Where is Larry Martin when you need him? With Sweden about to elect a "conservative" government you have to question which way the tide is going.

Lord Kitchener's Own:

Interesting, but it seems to me that “the right” in Sweden is somewhere to the left of the Liberals in Canada, so I’m not sure one can really compare this to North America.

The coalition “the right” in Sweden is up against, keep in mind, is a coalition of the Greens, the Socialists, and the Communists.

In a country where the Greens are the right wing of “the left”, pretty much every elected politician in Canada (many in the NDP included) would be considered “the right”.

True dat! It is all relative.

Thank you for further demonstrating the uselessness of the terms “left” and “right” as political labels.
