OK. This is crude simplification, but here we go:
This is a map of countries by prevalent political association. [Croatia, Albania and Turkey should be light blue also). Actually Europe is larger, but essentially all Eastern Europe consist of Russia. Let me just say about EU eastern border:
medium is Belarus, last dictatorship in Europe, its tyrant love Russia without reciprocation,
larger is Ukraine, smallest is Moldova; they are part of GUAM (with Azerbaijan and Georgia), group countries opposing Russia, but its economies are dominated by Gazprom,
Now lets talk about parties:
dark blue - conservatives, they don't want to be in Europe at all, they love America, but cannot even agree within themselves what do they represent, generally oppose to anything,
light blue - centrists, mostly without ideology, "green", pro-education, try to attract workers from outside EU,
red - socialists, working for creating more jobs, green economy, strengthen labor unions and that someone else should pay for this all,
dark red - communists, they still believe in communism,
yellow - liberals, pro-market and pro-freedom,
In Serbia, Ukraine or Russia parties are somehow vehicle to win an elections. They basically shun from extremism. They don't integrate gladly, lets say they are conservatives.
Norway has same party for last 80 years and really doesn't compare to any other European countries. It's politically frozen in the year 1930.
In Switzerland referenda are essence of power, so political parties don't matter much.
