   "On the contrary, we will focus on structural reforms to have a leaner and less costly state, open up professions and markets and allow everyone free access to economic and production activity," he added.

   Being actually in control of a state, with all its harsh realities and tradeoffs, will turn any socialist leftard into a sensible liberal/centrist pretty quickly.

   Guys guys guys. Socialist and conservative in Europe and US and US have very very different meanings.
