I think you and GirlySports are mixing up leaders and parties with decades old tendencies.

Do you think Canada is an extreme right wing country just because Harper is leading it right now?

When I look at Greece and its average retirement age of about 53, and the extremely high percentage of government employees per capita, I don't see a right wing country... not in the least.

Now, back to beer and Irish music.
