Europe's Conservative influence

Of all the talk about Europeans hating conservatism, they prove it in an awfully peculiar way. Let's look at these fast facts regarding recent elections:
  • Germany-Angela Merkel has been re-elected in Germany. Some see her as the German equivalent of Margaret Thatcher. Merkel has always been a close allay of Bush.
  • Germany- In addition to Merkel, the conservative party of Germany has gained a large amount of parliament seats, while the Labor Liberal party has lost seats.
  • England- Liberal Gordon Brown of UK is seen as not being able to win re-election, drawing weak poll numbers.
  • France- Nicolas Sarkosy is the conservative leader of the country. He's in constant attack of Obama, saying Obama is a weak-waffler.
