I've read similar before. I've heard that the UK's Conservative Party (Tory's) are more aligned with the US Democrats in their outlook than the US Republicans. The Tory's are generally considered our right wing (there are smaller more right wing parties though).
For a minute in Canada we would say “if Obama were Canadian, he’d be the greatest conservative PM we ever had”
The argument we usually see in the US is some nonsense like "you're comparing the Democrats in America to the left globally, you can't do that! They're to the left of Republicans so they're the left!"
...ughh...
