There's a good difference between the European view and our's, our Libertarian party, who represents economic and social liberlism is considered rather far right, rather than centric.

Even that is up for debate though, so here it isn't that cut and dry either.

Like Geoffrey pointed out, it's better to view political spectrums as circular, rather than a left-right line. Stalin and Hitler's governments had alot more in common with each other than our Republicans and Democrats here, even tho the the former are considered 'extreme left' and 'extreme right.'
