Not just the Nordic countries; most European countries, in fact. If you think about things such as (mostly) free medical care, a minimum wage you can more or less live on, a decent floor of social welfare, paid maternity leave (and even paternity leave in some cases) and a whole plethora of other things taken for granted in the vast majority of European countries, we're all way more to the left of any political party in the US.

And a muted yay for the election results :)
