This is very interesting. Need to do a deep dive here.
What’s DL?
A libertarian traditional axis seams very odd to me, how are they supposed to be oppositions?
Edit: The source even had to specify that they actually mean postmodern and not actually libertarian…
Ten samotny Korwin XD
PVV is less less right-wing/traditionalist socially than Fianna Fail ?!
Greece has two extremes of this map: Golden Dawn and KKE
Labour is no where near that left wing, there isnt an ounce of socialism in them anymore
LMAO labour, as if
For the countries I’m familiar with, this is quite sensible. For example, it’s a very good insight that despite DISY (Cyprus) and CDU (Germany) being both EPP affiliates, CDU is a much more centrist party economically and it makes sense that it’s closer to DIKO (Cyprus, S&D). I do think it overstates DISY’s cultural libertarianism though, but considering the time-period the study concerns itself with, it’s probably not wrong. They did turn more conservative during their second term in government.
It also makes sense to see AKEL much closer to centre-left parties like Labour, rather than with other GUE parties — similar with KOP (Cyprus Greens), who especially back in the time the study took place, they were nowhere near either European counterparts like the Dutch, German, or UK Greens.
It’s one of those rare cases that infographics are not lazy artistic interpretation of information gathered from Wikipedia infoboxes, but rather it’s backed with some actual research. I’m impressed.
Looks like there is lots of space in the traditional-left, just saying – if anyone of you want a career option…
Sad Authlefts.
bull. shit. is labour libertarian leaning.
Consistently vote for more nanny state bullshit. More surveillance. More “anti terrorism” rules.
Corbs even whipped them to abstain on the snoopers charter.
Good old social democrats from Smer moved up by at least 5 squares into hard core fascism and support for Putin since then. Hungary will seem like liberal paradise compared to Slovakia when (not if) they return to power in 2024. We will be heading somewhere into the Belarus/Russia territory.
I’m surprised the European S&D didn’t kick them out yet.
AKP and AfD, natural allies!
Genuinely surprised the SGP (NL) isn’t hugging the top edge of the graph. They want to change the Dutch governmental system to a literal theocracy. Hard to imagine there are MORE traditional parties out there…
If the ‘Nowo’ is supposed to stand for Nowoczesna (actually abbreviated to N or .N), then it should be very much red. More red than PO for sure
what is deSUS party lol
M5S should cover the entire spectrum though
Yeah… I don’t see how this libertarian spectrum makes sense. Most parties are not libertarian at all, they want to build up the nanny state at all cost because it benefits them. Some of the right wingers listed as very conservative here are actually very libertarian in the traditional sense.
I didn’t expect that the Belgian communist party (PVDA) would be the most economically left party in europe tbh
