Reply #15: My thought is that it depends on the issue [View All]

Gay rights have been bounding ahead in Spain, Britain, Canada over the past years

Significant recent rise in aid to Africa, (although that's a thorny issue and needs a thread all to itself)

The Right is widely regarded with ridicule and suspicion in Britain, which I believe is because we've been through the cycle the States is currently experiencing when we had Thatcher

There are others but I really mean issue territory rather than specifically geographic, although agree it is difficult to see what ideological territory the Left in the States has made any advances in recently (not a slight, please don't be offended, you're up against a SPECIAL enemy), so the geographic and ideological territories coincide there.

I could go and look it all up, but I think you know what I mean.
