Some European countries don't have a minimum wage. In the UK a majority of people would vote to bring back to the death penalty for some crimes like terrorism, if given a referendum on it. Gay marriage and abortion are highly controversial in some of the more Catholic parts of Europe, immigration control routinely ranks as one of the highest concerns in the Eurobarometer polls and obviously especially so in the UK, and Ireland was forced to implement higher taxes on the rich (companies) against the will of its own population. The idea that Europe (all of it) is politically homogenous and aligned with the US left seems quite prevalent on HN but it's not born out by actual polls. Europe is a big place with a lot of varying beliefs across its different countries and sub-regions.
