People in Europe are voting for socialist parties in their droves as they look to one of the few shining light economies in the west, Australia
. Did we have the luck or foresighht to install a socialist government and return it during the GFC?

We got the tax and now we're being asked to accomodate illegal entrants in our own homes. Are you just trying to wind us up, Floaty or are ya just bored

You can't really speak as Europe being one government. Yes they have a European government. But in the end all countries had their own government and their own financial structures. That ended being their downfall. When the Euro started they should have put all the Euro-zone countries under the same financial structure. And they should have done more research into the countries that they allowed into the Euro-zone. Unfortunately a bit late now but better now than never...
However I still have a positive outlook on it, eventually they'll get out of the recession again and everything will be back to normal if not better.
I think the salient point is that people are voting against sitting governments in droves. World wide people still believe that their own government is somehow responsible for the GFC.
Europe - going socialist
USA - will probably go conservative (assuming the republicans can find an approximately sane candidate)
And probably within 1-2 electoral cycles there will be a massive swing back when everyone realises that nothing much really changes.
