So you're assuming Sweden is the same as France is the same as Austria is the same as UK is the same as Denmark is the same as Spain is the same as Germany? No history, culture, specific conditions? No qualitative difference between small countries with a tighter national consensus and much larger ones with a greater spread of opinion?
Yes, percentages matter for purposes of comparison. But you can't evacuate the rest.
