In Europe, the parties of the Right are generally paternalistic, and therefore semi- socialist. Additionally, even Left- wing intellectuals are very snobbish. Thatcher had a bad time with members of her own party, who resented her attempt to "Americanize" the economy, and Labor intellectuals used to attack her for her sweater vests and lower middle class veneer. In France, both the Left and Right talk about "Anglo- American" economics as something inappropriate to the French situation, rather like Lee Kuan Yew (of Singapore) contrasting the American model of democracy with the Asian model. To educated Europeans, someone like Bush is a yahoo from Texas who is trying to turn the clock back to the Age of the Robber Barons. (See "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and her Lover" to get the point of view in the face).........
