I hear a lot that people say the US Democratic Party would be right wing in Europe. But I see a lot of Europeans online say that their (left) parties are corrupt and right wing. What am I missing?

    I like to think of it as the Conservatives chose to sit on the right because they can’t accept that they’re not.

    And I believe this pun works to some extent in French too, which is where that arbitrary labelling started.
