Also, to the original poster, instead of your diminutive attitude to 'the lefties', how about acknowledging that the 'righties' that created this mess in the first place are finally displaced from power. Finally there's a change of course for the better.
How do you figure that? "Righties" are usually recognized as Nationalists, most of whom never wanted an EU in the first place. For them, it was an issue of national sovereignty.
Most European countries don't have two-party systems. The right are often liberals (not what americans call liberals), social liberals, conservatives or christian conservatives. And of course some brown populist party who hates immigrants and muslims, and loves american cars and Elvis and get caught pretending to be Hitler in the mirror.
