It seems that the pendulum has begun its return back to the left side of the political spectrum in Europe. This was evidenced via the upset victory in France by Socialist Party Candidate, Francois Hollande. Hollande has been a staple of the Fench Socialist Party for the last fifteen years who was able to capitalize(pun intended) on anti-Sarkozy and anti-austerity sentiment throughout the country.
In Greece, while the faux-leftist PASOK's suffered heavy losses in parliamentary elections, the coalition of actual leftist groups, Syriza, placed second, winning an unprecedented 51 seats in parliament.
Hopefully, this signals the beginning of a new leftist movement in the Eurozone.
In SOlidarity,
