Abstract

The European Left stands today at a truly critical juncture. A shadow of its former and potential self, it has gone down in flames in recent elections largely because it has no coherent narrative of current problems or convincing plans for dealing with them. The center Right, on the other hand, has adopted enough of the old social democratic program to appear non-threatening to center and center-left voters; it also appears more competent and less divided than its leftist counterparts. Is it any wonder that it has emerged victorious in recent elections?
