Perspective. For example for a person from the USA 'democratic party' would be associated with more left (than the republican party).
A person should really be out of his mind to think that party names all around the world would follow the same "logic" as in their own country, specially with so generic names such as democrats and republicans
Even in the US the republicans used to be the more left party until the early 20th century. Id say the US terms are the least consistent with the rest of the world.
In most European countries you'll find the following parties with similiar names: Conservatives, Social Democrats, Greens, Liberals (usually just economics) Left/Socialists, Nationalists
