gawd. does it matter to you that much to paint another country's party's with the same brush strokes as you paint American political system? With a multi-party system, there are going to be parties that not exactly correspond to the way things work in USA. And the main point of the OP was, I believe, to highlight the suffering of minorities, especially the Roma people (whose origins, btw, are from northwest India close to where my family is from), in Eastern Europe.
