Is it really possible to compare the European and US political spectrums and what is the difference?

The field of politics has as many perspectives as it has people discussing it. However, in order for us to be able to sit down an actually discuss the current issues bothering us there has to be some kind of previously agreed upon standard for judgement. If this doen't exist we can't really get to the point of understanding that is necessary in order for us to improve anything at all.

This kind of understanding of the standards involved is exactly what's lacking in the political discourse between Europe and the US, and it's the reason for the constant mistakes both sides tend to make when assessing loyalties. However what I'm curious about is the real extent of the differences. What do you guys think?

I stopped caring about what the Euros think about my country in 1776. i do feel bad for the people of England, France and Germany cause their government seems to be hanging them out to dry.

@KioCo they seem to have a better hold on things it seems.

@SheCallsMeCrushDaddy Yea, not just that, they seem to be progressing in a generally conservative direction. It might well be the case that they take over the US as the most conservative part of the white world.... Although we're not there yet
