Is ideology important in Western Europe?

Conclusion
No normal person, no healthy society can exist without the ideals and values aimed at contributing to the achievement of important personal and collective goals. Originally a meaning of human existence and society was defined by a Myth; later Myth yielded its place to Religion. Today, in the most advanced countries of the world a significant role in the formation of goal-setting existence of a society and a state takes ideology. Despite the obvious alleviation of social contradictions and, as a consequence of ideological confrontation, in mode
Weste
Europe, political ideology still retain their influence on the political process and public opinion. Various modifications of liberal, conservative, social-democratic, nationalist and even anarchist ideas continue to determine the policy agenda of the region and make it possible to streamline the electoral preferences. As popular wisdom teaches us, "the mo
ing sun never lasts a day". Perhaps the day will come, when the ideology would be entirely unnecessary in Weste
Europe, and the public will be able to rely on something more perfect. However, in the foreseeable future the emergence of such a phenomenon is rather unlikely. Therefore, many decades to come ideologies – perhaps greatly modified, and may be even quite different – will retain their value and importance in Weste
Europe.
