Across Europe, the left's fightback has begun | John Palmer
Far from retreating, the political pendulum is moving to the left - with a more integrated approach to the EU in the center of its program
his speech to the Labour Party conference in Liverpool on Sunday, Douglas Alexander won a point that often throughout Europe - not just in the UK - is widespread on the left and right is more or less everywhere in retirement. "Over the last ten years around 1997, the center-left was to defeat the right. Now the heart is beating right to the left, "he said.
past five years has been the dominant political trend in the European Union. This explains why the right has come to dominate the Council of Ministers and the European Commission was able to put aside the opposition to the orthodoxy of the European governments of economic austerity. However, the shadow foreign secretary may be a missing evidence that this trend is being reversed.
Last week we had successcoalition of Social Democrats, the Socialist People's Party and the Red-Green Alliance in the general election in Denmark. This week we learned about the unexpected victory of the alliance of the French Socialists and the Greens in the takeover of the French Senate - after a dramatic series of electoral victories of the Left in the French regions earlier this year
But the most important evidence that the political tide turns against the law has no doubt about the implosion of the current German coalition government of Christian Democrats and (theoretically) Liberals, led by Angela Merkel. A series of devastating losses of important regional elections in Germany were able to spend the Social Democrats and the Green Party -. Sometimes, with the support of left-wing party Die Linke
- However, if, as now seems likely, President Nicolas Sarkozy and the French right has lost the French presidential elections next spring, and this is followed by a Social Democrat / Green win the election German general in early 2013, the center of power within the European Union have also been transferred. What is not included in the UK is that the French and German socialists and their green allies now share very similar ideas on the future governance of the euro area and the enlarged European Union.
- German conservative parties have resisted all proposals to move to a major economic union could be group lending in the euro area made to support countries in the financial baton. However, the German Social Democrat / Green opposition supports the idea of ??euro bonds, and calls for a different economic strategy, which would give priority to sustainable growth in the EU.
- significant when the Democrats have played the free-standing Euroscepticism in a desperate effort to regain lost votes, his support collapsed in the last elections in the region of Berlin. Even more encouraging is the evidence from Denmark, Sweden and other countries that the support of racist right-wing parties begin to fall -. In part, angry reaction to the massacres of Norway this summer one thing to say that the political pendulum may be swinging back to the right in Europe, and another thing to say that the center-left will be equal to the task of forging a new direction for the development EU economic and social strategy. In fact, a failure in the future due to left center to end the drift into a new recession or depression, possibly on a large scale could lead to disastrous policy response.
The British Labour Party has maintained a studied silence on most of these questions - leaving George Osborne and curiously Eurosceptic pressure to the euro zone governments to move faster towards a full economic union. The work will be more difficult to maintain the indifference debate among his own colleagues in Europe on how to go further on the path of economic and political union accelerates.
