Actually your wrong, many former monarchists became liberals (in the classical sense) as the Old Regimes fell, wishing to model a Republic fashioned after the U.S. in response to the growing socialist movements. They were a tiny minority and confined mostly to the wealthy.

The fact that Europe never had a sizeable right wing movement does not mean that the definition of right wing somehow changes for their mileu (lol "MENU"!).

If 99% of the population is Socialist in nature, you dont cut that in half and say that 49% Right Wing, just a different type of "Right Wing", that is incoherent and illogical.

And where does it say that America gets to define what is conservatism ? Why Burke's definition instead of Bossuet's or Bismarck's ?
