If you want another specific Rightwing policy for Germany... Germany has no minium wage. If your in a union sweet sure you get stuff negotiated for you... if not... the lack of minium wage means even workers need welfare. Such a system would be seen as too rightwing for even pretty far rightwing republicans to touch. Only specific diehard hayekians would dare propose such a sitaution.
Though back to France.. they tend to be very sexist, very racist, and well, still deporting Romas as we speak still illegally... but the EU just has to tiptoe because it's one of their "Major" members. All this under their "Leftwing party". Either party from France would be seen as rightwing due to their refusal to allow people to study racial and sexual problems, there HUGE problems with sexism, and there weird aversion to even thinking of charging the powerful with crimes. The problem is, you are using specific things europeon states agree on as your basis. While ignoreing the many rightwing things that some agree on... and some don't. |
You're right on many what you say. But at all that makes more clear, that european political parties are not really comparable to american political parties. It's even hard to compare political parties in europe. Or to put it differently: Would democrats or republicans try to compete in elections here in europe with the same issues and programs they have in the US, they would lose by a landslide, as they would be seen as dangerous morons. I think the same would happen, if our parties would try to get elected in the US.
As of monetism - germany has bigger debt than Spain, in relation to the countries GDP. But Spain is seen as a problem, Germany not. So our fiscal politics is obviously not superior, as it brought us more debts.
