Political terms in Europe often have different meanings than in the US. In Europe, "progress" or "progressive" are often found in names of parties of the right as the winning party in Serbia. This began in Denmark fifty years ago, when Danish millionaire tax lawyer Mogens Glistrup founded the Progress Party, which ran on a three point platform of "abolish the income tax, abolish the welfare state, and fire the bureaucracy", coming in a strong second place in the party's first parliamentary election contest. Glistrup's run away success led Norwegian dog kennel owner Anders Lange to form a similar party at the last minute before a Norwegian parliamentary election, running on a shoestring and winning two seats. That party changed its name to the Progressive Party, and also adopted a very strong anti-immigration message and has been a player in Norwegian politics since, joining several coalition governments.

Of course, the term "progressive" was a key political term of the Soviets who used it to define a combination of card carrying communist party members and fellow travellers who followed a similar ideology but were not actual party members.

The term "liberal" is used differently in Europe than in America. What Americans would call a "liberal" in Europe would be called a "socialist" or "social democrat". The term in Europe still generally means what Americans now call a "classical liberal", which includes support of small government, low taxes, free enterprise, and individual liberty.
