Well, the pro-choice might still be in question for many of the more Catholic countries, but pro-gun, anti state-run-school parties seem to be very rare and marginal indeed.
I guess that much as with the Blair/Brown UK "New Labour" government, Hillary manifests further to the right than their nominal position would suggest, in the hope of securing centrist/marginal right-leaning votes. There is also the problem in the states that anything at all to the left is branded "socialist" or even "communist", where even the former is a toxic word in the US zeitgeist because of the cold war. My labour party membership card has the word "socialist" on it. I bet Dem party members couldn't say the same, unfortunately.
