why conservative parties are winning the elections recently in both USA and Europe?

Question

Bush in the states(i believe John Mcain already won too).
Angela Merkel in Germany.
Nicolas Sarkozy in France.
Silvio berlusconi in Italy.

Answer 1

You need to take another look at the US election, Obama has a growing lead over McCain.

The democrats (the liberal party in the US) won handily in 2006 legislative races and governorships as well, and a repeat is expected in 2008, picking up more seats.



As for Europe, there are cases that go both ways. Gordon Brown in the UK is an example of that.



There's an old expression that applies here:

"All politics is local"

Answer 2

Conservative in europe and conservative in the US does not mean the same thing, neither does liberal.European conservatives would seem pretty liberal to US americans, for example, the preffered coalition partner for Angela Merkels party CDU is the FDP, whcih calls itself the "liberal party".

There are a lot of reasons for why there are a number of (so-called) conservative governments in europe right now.In germany, the socialdemocrats (not socialists) and the conservatives got almostz the same amount of votes with a very slight victory for Merkel, who thus heads a government formed of socialdemocrats and conservatives.In Italy, Silvio Berlusconi retook power because the former center-left government coalition broke apart less than one year after the election.In France, the candidates were probably more important to voters than the party they belonged to, maybe french voters weren't yet ready for a female president.

Try to understand that the gap between liberals and conservatives in europe is not nearly as wide as it may or may not be in the US.Most parties have eroded from their original positions, socialdemocrats are not socialist anymore (they gave up that policy more than 30 years ago) and recently, a german catholic archbishop gave an interview in which he stated that there was currently no party in germany that was particularly close to christian ideals, not even the conservative CDU (the C in the Name stands for christian)

There is also usually no big difference between what socialdemocrat governments and conservative governments do either. Merkel for example isn't really doing anything different than the former SPD government.

Answer 3

Conservative winning in the States recently and John "Mcain" already won?



What other galaxy have you been to for the past two years?

Answer 4

wow, what a silly ignorant question. Bush won the election in 2000, and therefore was the incumbent in the year 2004 (4 YEARS AGO!). Incumbent Presidents in war time are always the overwhelming favorite. The Democrats wiped the floor with the CONSERVATIVE Republican party in 2006 (ONLY 2 YEARS AGO!). John McCain won the REPUBLICAN (IE CONSERVATIVE) nomination, and he was BY FAR the most left winged of all the other Republican candidates.

Answer 5

John McCain didn't win yet... In November he will



Bush won mostly because Al Gore is a nut, we can all see that now. A lot of America didn't realize how crazy he was back in 2000, now they understand.



A lot of people vote the conservative party because of the understanding they have of how the economy grows and what it takes to make a country safe. We see what happens when we have a liberal president in... taxes go up, the economy takes a dive and we are less safe than ever before when they leave.



So with the election we have coming up.. we have to ask, do we want to move 8 plus years back... or do we want to continue to move forward.

Answer 6

I agree that conservatives are winning in Eurpoe but the liberals appear to be ascendant in South America and (unfortunately, from my point of view) in the US also.



I'm not sure if I've ever seen clear patterns in these types of trends over the years. I think it's more psychology: whoever seems more positive and confident wins. It might just be a popularity contest, I'm afraid to say.

Answer 7

Europe who has been to a large degree Liberal for the last decade and a half is reaping the fruits of the Liberal harvest. I am afraid the U.S. has some hard Jimmy Carter/ George McGovern lessons to learn all over again. As the great quote goes, "Those who forget history are destined to repeat it."

Answer 8

First on the question of immigration. in case you seem on the figures on immigration over the final 30 years there are enormously much the two the comparable form getting into this united states on a each year foundation no rely who replaced into in government and it replaced into easily the tories with job slicing which led to the extensive backlog of situations to construct up. related to elections the coalition have desperate to freeze the inheritance tax over right here couple of years at its cutting-edge start up value, so the middle training will pay greater. this money will bypass to assist in taking good care of the elderly. I ought to think of this could herald greater votes from the poor and much less wealthy pensioners. yet will lose votes from a number of the middle training. yet I anticipate the tories have labored it out to be of their favour. although for labour to win they choose not elementary hitting clever rules like this to get them observed. yet we under no circumstances pay attention even a small squeak from them.

Answer 9

More people are becoming conservative. Socialism is a policy of self destruction. Take from the people that work hard and they will stop working hard. Give to people that don't work hard and they won't see a need to work hard. The most dependable and successful people are the ones that are allowed to better themselves without the interference of government.

Answer 10

Perhaps they do not like the idea of a strong marxist leftist World.

Answer 11

Well the ovious answer is that the conservative has more sense....

Answer 12

John McCain won't win.
