It’s been reported that in the German elections, a far right party has made ‘significant gains’.

In the UK (at least before the scandals) Reform UK seems to have had a significant boost and has even surpassed the right-wing Conservative Party in some polls/predictions.

Even France, one or two years ago, was threatened with a far-right government due to the French far right party gaining a lot of support.

It feels like in the last few years, the far-right has exceeded itself and had a surge in popularity. Is this the case? And if so, wtf is fuelling it?

    The Left is gaining also. The center is losing because they tied their party to unpopular war and sanctions that have destroyed their economy and climate goals.

    The Left is refusing to arm Ukraine and is offering Mamdani-like reforms in Berlin.

    Give people what they want and you win, and it’s certainly NOT war.

        I capitalized it because it’s AN ACTUAL PARTY IN GERMANY, not some vague idea that you don’t even understand, as you surely don’t understand “sovereignty” either .

        Get this straight. Leftist don’t arm Nazis.
