    They absolutely would not be far right in Japan and a few more on this map, but they would be right to far right in a lot of countries not on the map too.

      I’m mostly poking fun. Some people will say rest of the world and really just mean Western Europe. You’re mostly right though. I think economically, yes, definitely right or at least right of center. Socially though, very left. LGBT rights and civil equality and refugee acceptance are sadly not the norm. We’ve still got serious conservative parties pushing against them.

      It’s honestly a hard thing to distill down to one metric. And if you want to consider the cultural context too, it gets even more difficult. People like using the whole world in comparisons, but it’s rather complex to accurately do that here.
