The only successful western social democratic parties are from within the Nordic countries. Why is that? Because of culture, tradition and relatively strong unions? Or because they've rejected neoliberalism before it was too late? Or because they've become more populist or TAN-left?

Ever heard of Pedro Sanchez, Spanish MP since 2018 and from the PSOE?

@proscience I though he was more left wing.

@sigismundninja

The name of the party may imply it, but AFAICS his policies are very social- democratic.

Podemos is/was very left.

@sigismundninja The nordic social democrats are not left. They are right wing. They never rejected neoliberalism and today they have the same politics as the conservatives. Racist and in favour of the rich. Not populist and not TAN-left. Not left at all. #socialdemocracy. #politics #eupol #ukpo
