Populist Right-Wing Parties Lead Polls in Europe’s Biggest Economies

LONDON—For the first time, populist or far-right parties are leading the polls in Europe’s three biggest countries of the U.K., France, and Germany, the latest sign of growing voter discontent in much of the continent following years of high immigration and inflation.

Far-right and anti-immigration parties have already entered government in countries such as Italy, Finland and the Netherlands. But this year marks the first time that they have been ahead in Europe’s biggest economies at the same time. That could provoke a period of political turbulence in all three countries, even if national elections are likely still a few years away.

“It’s significant. Leaders in all three countries are grappling with an ascendant far right that looks on the cusp of power unless politicians can address what’s fueling the rise, which is immigration and cost of living,” said Mujtaba Rahman, head of Europe for risk consulting firm Eurasia.

"Leaders in all three countries are grappling with an ascendant far right that looks on the cusp of power unless politicians can address what’s fueling the rise ....."

Appears to me politicians are threatened by people who show allegiance to their very own country. Why are people, who wish the best for the very own country, threatening to politicians?

It appears I would much rather have a populist leader than a political leader. No doubt about it.

Note that the media never uses the term “far left” to describe liberals, no matter how extreme or radical they may be.

“…Okay, now we go through the fooourth round of run-offs. Don’t worry. You’ll learn who won today’s run-off this evening. Then we hold the next run-off in three months unless we ran off all the right-wing candidates in this one…”

Whether the Euroweenies rig elections is another argument.

In a multi party system, they don’t have to.

It’s called strategic voting, and horse trading.

By whatever means, the Elites will always come out on top.

Although our system was rigged in the nominating process, it was FINALLY beaten when Trump came along.

When Trump leaves the stage, I suspect the uniparty will be back in control of the White House.

UNLESS Tulsi can win the day.

Gabbard 2028”

I’ll HAPPILY vote for her although I think Vance would kick butt too.

Far-right and anti-immigration parties have already entered government in countries such as Italy, Finland and the Netherlands.

To the left and far-left, "far-right" means that to put Italy/Finland/Netherlands first ahead of those from other countries is bad.

The fruit of their hostility to Israel and support for the Palestinians with Britain and France set to recognize a Palestinian state at the UN later this month.

The ‘long arm of Israel’ operates to disrupt all enemies and adversaries IMHO.

Jordan Bardella, President of France’s National Rally and stand-in Presidential candidate for 2027 following Marine Le Pen’s conviction for alleged corruption, went to Jerusalem for an antisemitism conference earlier this year.

SO? The leftist controlled courts will just declare their victories invalid and install their own hand-picked stooges.
