That’s been the case for some time now. Voters have put the centre-right parties into power across most of the continent, perhaps because they figure that austerity measures are going to be necessary anyway and they think the right will be more competent in carrying them out.

No European country elected a right-wing (economically, socially) government since Margaret Thatcher.
