What is behind the rise of the far-right in Europe? | Inside Story


European far-right parties made substantial gains in the EU’s parliamentary election.
In France and Germany, parties once considered to be on the fringes, are now establishing themselves as viable challengers to the establishment.
So what is driving this shift on the ‘Old Continent’?
And will these parties be able to turn their successes in…

  1. All elites live privileged lives. Attendance at a university and a job with power and influence are a given. Their experience of the lives of ordinary people is nil. They live in a bubble, and when the bubble is threatened, they consider it an attack on order and stability.

  2. There is no left or right. There is one bird with a left and a right wing that shits on all our heads for falsly believing we have a 'choice'. Its all a game of politics. Divide and conquer. The only choice humanity has is unification against neo colonisation, endless wars for power and profits for the wealthy few and corrupt politicians.

  3. People of ( All) Color, Global Citizens, The Sun is setting on last Colonial Settler Empires, Global Conquest. They can move forward with the Modern Times, or Europe will be left behind. Civilization, time, waits for no one.

  4. What Far-Right-Extremists want is obvious. They want Colonialism, White-Supremacists Sense of Entitlements, White-Privileges under threat from modernity, dwindling white dominance globally, demographics, and White-Washed again. No multiculturalism, globalization, Human/ Civil-Rights, just continuing White-Supremacists, Nationalists, Populists, Global Conquest. Isolationism, Protection ism, Nativism, Western-Settler Colonial Revisionism.

  5. Pro Palestinian protests only shifted people towards right wing. West stands with Israel, not with terorists, we proved it many times, the more you protest for Gaza the more we support Israel, and therefore – far right

  6. Now you Qataris will tell how Europe is working on politics when yall dont even have a system Do something about the poor worker migrants from Asia yall exploiting them 50 Indians dies on a building fire in Kuwait shame on yall

  7. The left stopped being pro worker and antiwar while at the same time becoming more corporate and authoritarian. They are now useless, they need to change back to the left of the 70s 80s.

  8. You're far right when:

    You honor the national heroes
    You respect your own flag
    You want border control
    You prefer that criminals do time
    You didn't vote Labour.

  9. The Academic really veered right … with the failure of the center … the right have professionalised & these young people buy it. This is without doubt a real & viable threat to decent values. The centrists have played with fire & has now mainstreamed overt racism. That train left decades ago.

  10. One could also talk about the normalization of corruption among mainstream politicians, which is woven into the very fabric of the EU – it's considered perfectly fine for members of the parliament to come from the ranks of the business world and to have other roles while acting as an MP. I also feel the left has lost its argument about equality which has gotten lost in the quagmire of identity politics.
