Unfortunately, at the political level, no one asks what they are doing wrong or what the opposition is doing right. And both have a very bad habit of looking after their own interests instead of doing what works.
Wow dude such an intelligent comment. So what does work? Why does nothing work? We need to see that the media and the elite are anti-socialist. Because of that we will lose every election. Liberalism/conservatism/fascism will not fix our problems. We need to organise and make a push to the left. Invisibly the European “left” is a joke currently. That’s why I said that WE need to organise. We need to push for women’s rights, LGBTQIA+ rights, immigration rights, anti climate change politics, anti Russian politics, promote socialist economic theory, improve education, taxing the rich. Right now the richest guy ON EARTH is European. Bernard Arnault? Something like that. There is not a single party in power with mentioned ideology.
to add to what your saying the current establishment left and even Center right (UK torries being the key of this) have for too long let things go one Covid the economic fall out from covid and the russo-ukrainian war and its economic turmoil. so its not a left-right thing as the UK Torries and the CDU has recently found out its an anti neo-lib/neocon uniparty upswelling. it is my belief that as the world continues into this coming recesion we will see this go further its way i don't see Erdogan surviving his election and the 2023 UK election (there's gunna be one) resulting in a Labour majority or a Lab LD coelition. its just the broad left wing establishment in europe that makes it look like a hard swing right
If you are corrupt, and the system works for you and your friends, why would you listen to anyone else or the opposition. People who play unfair and only for themselves will always have an advantage, no matter what game.

I am Italian. Meloni is certainly a right-wing politician but I would not say that she is "anti-establishment": her party was formed in 2012 by breaking away from the then huge Berlusconi's party, the symbol of the Italian political and financial establishment. In general, Italians are not anti-establishment, they subconsciously understand that without the establishment the whole system would collapse and few want this. The Italians just wanted another more conservative establishment.
No one of these so called "anti-establishment" right wing populists really are anti-establishment. Trump was a billionaire in the country of capitalism, before riding the right wing wave into presidency bolsonaro had a 30 year long career as a low ranking politician
Meloni is anti-establishment, simply because she will end up becoming another Mussolini. Here's why I think so: at times, Giorgia Meloni rigorously played down her party’s connection with fascism and the Italian Social Movement. In 2020, she praised Almirante as a “patriot” and extolled his “unconditional love for Italy, his honesty, his coherence, his courage.” Years ago, Meloni went even further, saying in a television interview, “I think Mussolini was a good politician. Everything he did, he did for Italy.” She has since walked back those comments. Furthermore, Meloni’s predecessor as leader of the Brothers of Italy, Ignaio La Russa, said, “We are all heirs of Il Duce.” The party’s logo uses the same tricolor flame that the Italian Social Movement used. “To have the flame means, in some ways, that you are the true descendants of the [Italian Social Movement] and, thus, of the Duce himself,” wrote historian Tobias Jones. In 2019, several mayors from the Brothers of Italy held a celebratory dinner on the anniversary of Mussolini’s 1922 March on Rome. And another party that is a likely member of the next Italian coalition, the Northern League, likewise honors Mussolini’s legacy. Its leader, Matteo Salvini, has modeled himself after Il Duce, posing in similar ways, using some of the same slogans, and speaking from the same locations. I think this EVIDENCE is more than enough to make one assume the worst. I'm only being logical here. Here's what I think will GENUINELY happen if Italy becomes fascist again: it won't be just Italy, it has to be a United Europe that is FASCIST, FAR-RIGHT. Germany will be leading, NOBODY wins Germany in terms of radicalization and far right policies. If Italy becomes fascist, Germany will be Nazi once again. But this time we are looking at a Europe that stands UNITED in an ideology that binds them all. Meloni in Italy, a new Reich in Germany, VOX in Spain, Marine LP in France, Orban in Hungary, The Vatican to unite the european people under one christianity, etc. Everything is pointing in that direction. Let's wait and see how things evolve. All I know is that, if Europe becomes that MONSTER once again, it will auto-destruct itself. The Russians, The Chinese and the whole of Asia will STRIKE EUROPE LIKE A THUNDER, AND WILL RUN EVERYONE DOWN TO THE POINT WHERE NOONE IS LEFT ALIVE. This is some serious stuff, history repeats itself. Ciao!

Imo as an American commentator, it’s simply natural blowback that was bound to happen at some point. The longer a certain voter group feels they’ve been denied representation, the more fervent they’ll be, which leads to better showings at the polls. In the same manner the left wing is building huge momentum in the UK after not being represented for so long, the right wing had a lot of built up support across many European countries. Particularly, it’s the perception of underrepresentation that matters, not necessarily actually being so. And that plays a large role in how this new right has sprung up so quickly from the fringes. Because the new right wing feels that the old right did not represent them either, there’s a sensation amongst those citizens that it hasn’t just been a few election cycles since they were in power, but that it’s been much longer, since they only consider these right wing populists to be truly representative. Going back to the UK, I think the turnover of multiple conservative PM’s only further exacerbates the sentiment for the left that they’ve been locked out of power. This imo is mostly a product of the multi party system. In American politics, such a build up doesn’t work the same because our two party system leaves both left and right wing voters constantly feeling like we’re being screwed no matter who’s in charge 😂
On the face multiple party systems seem great but are really terrible in practice because they can move to "clientalism". After the election the problems start when the horse-trading is done behind closed doors and the plum jobs handed out and can take weeks or months. The tried and tested mainly two party system were the policies are costed up front before presentation to the voter is far better. It is hard for far left or for fight parties to operate in a two party system. As for the U.K. post-war deference was given to politicians. There are some good politicians but the stock has sunk. Largely through the expenses scandal. Politicians are not people with "special powers" or 7 foot tall. Britain is different than continental Europe. Public want to be part of government not overthrow it. The Great Reform Act and women's suffrage ensured it. People want to know who their MP is beforehand and what they stand for. In fact the voter wants to vote themselves "instead" of the politician. The MP's are basically delegates these days. With the growth of 24h t.v. and social media the voter is well informed and would like to take the decisions themselves rather than farm it out to politicians. Politicians aren't that trusted, even with a manifesto. Polls show Labour in front but I am not at all convinced they will win the next Gerneral Election. Back in '70 Labour were leading the polls with a week to go but the Conservatives won. My view is also Labour are stacking up votes where they don't need them in safe seats in London, Birmingham, Manchester & Liverpool. UK politics has changed probably forever. Nigel Farage and UKIP were the first to see it. Scotland used to be a heartland for Labour, the 40-odd seats were needed mathematically to get over the line into government. With the SNP claiming most seats Labour and the Conservatives have to look elsewhere. Neither stand in Northern Ireland. Labour have safe seats in the metropolitan cities. Conservatives have safe seats in the "Shires" with the LibDems their only real rivals. Therefore the Red Wall-type seats being now indispensable. They are the ONLY seats available to both parties. Both parties have to present policies to the Red Wall-type seats. Mathematically they are vital for a government. Both have the danger that voters might be apathetic and stay home. Another mathematical crucial point is that if there is no General Election before 1st. November 2023 boundary changes can change things in favour of the Conservative Party. Scotland is down to lose 2 seats. Wales are down to lose 7/8 seats. England are down to gain 10 seats. Predicted that overall it will favour the Conservatives. In the EU only the Parliament is publicly elected. The Council and Commission are the only ones able to initiate legislation and neither are voted in publicly. Officials are appointed not elected. It was set up that way on purpose. No one voted for Ursula the President. The public aren't trusted by the EU.The Council and Commission aren't directly accountable. This democratic deficit is one of the things that need to be addressed if the EU is to have much of a future. There are 10,000 people in Brussels on more money than the Prime Minister. It's a great reason to leave the EU.
@@English_Dawn The bit I don't understand with the UK is how you deal with all the little local MP elections being winner-takes-all. A 40% vote for party A can translate into 100% representation when there's a single seat to take and no-one else is large enough.
A lot of these guys want to both get legitimized by the mainstream right/conservatives, but also supplant them in the long term. It's always worst when you get to deal with your own fringe, the guys who think they are the better, more pure versions of you.
@@English_Dawn And yet, virtually every country with a two-party system wants to switch to a multiparty system, the best-run countries and the countries with the highest qualities of life in the world are multi-party democracies. Two parties leave voters feeling underrepresented. And what you suggest is a form of direct democracy, which is used in a form in Switzerland, which is also a multi-party democracy.
Well the thing is, when you have a history people don't believe you've changed and are under no obligation to. Also far right can be used within the context of the country's politics. Merkel for example is considered conservative yet is left wing compared to both American parties
It's not necessarily about what policies they are proposing as part of the coalition or what position they feel like they need to take to win votes in this moment, its about who forms the party, what their core beliefs are, what are the underlying assumptions they make about the world, and how that will affect their future policy making if they keep gaining power. And it does not take too much thought to deduce any of those things. The have all the makings of a far-right party, all they need is an environment to flourish.
They are on the right side....but far right is taking the piss. But its easier to get a point across to have more parties thrown into the far right. But I guess whole of Denmark is far right then since they have somewhat similar policies ;)
Orban was meddling with the media and in turn, was able to blunt all of his political opponents to the point where he can become a Lukashenko within the EU
You are mostly correct. And Orban is sooo good at brainwashing, he don’t even need the police to keep him I charge. Most of the urban Hungarians so dump, they still eat every word of him, yet it is obvious he is lying with every sentence.
Van der Bellen was meddling with Austrian media to stay president and no one cares. Because he is a left-wing anti-white politician and that’s in line with EU ideology.

JUST LIKE THE ILLOGICALS THAT DECLARE THAT SOCIALISM IS """"CENTRE-LEFT"""", WHEN, IN FACT, SOCIALISM IS """"EXTREME-LEFT-WING""""!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D
In Hungary, there were even bigger issues with the “Ideology incoherent alliance”, like the two biggest parties in it was made a secret pact between them (for power sharing) and when the united leader was neither of them but a guy without a party, then the two big parties was not really trying anymore.
obviously if your coalition includes the left and the right, you need a centrist leader or else there will be problems. it makes no sense to pick someone from a party which would lead to a fracture of the coalition because then orban would win anyways.
Ironic how Belgium was a founder of the Iron and Steel Community. Particularly how Imperial Germany clipped a corner of Belgium as part of the Schlieffen Plan in the the First World War. Sadly you suffer the lot of all countries with a modest population, like the Republic of Ireland. You get less seats in the only part of the EU that is subject to a public vote, the weak Parliament. This will only get worse for countries like you when Eastern Expansion takes place, particularly if the Ukraine joins. This will dilute your political power even more. Belgium will still be expected to pay for the feckless Southern and Eastern States. You will be used as a "mug" to have less "voice" politically and sign the cheques for others who may run up debt for the Eurozone. It might not end well. Against this background centre right parties might be your only hope.
In times of economic and military instability the extreme opposition always finds the populist vote regardless if they are right or left leaning. If the population is told to suffer bad management and failed policies that support the elite interests, while leaving the majority of population to fend off for itself, populism is a natural outcome of this.
Yes, but the moral responsability for bringing them to power kind of falls on the population afterwards, economic hardship is just a side-note social cause compared to the results.
Sadly the people fail to realize the right wing governments will also implement policies that take from the poor and middle class and siphon it up to the wealthy.
@@madalinaanton3253 if you think the average voter even has a concept of moral responsibility as opposed to being driven solely by "I like the things this guy is saying" compounded with "somebody really should DO something already about all those problems", then I've got a bridge to sell you...
@@madalinaanton3253 Just stop. As long as you European liberals keep blaming the rise of the far right on "one day, the voters suddenly became evil and racist" instead of realizing that the rise of the far right was a direct reaction to the terrible, heavy handed immigration policies you implemented, the far right will never go away. I have never seen you arrogant people exercise even a modicum of introspection, and frankly its baffling how much you people outright refuse to learn this lesson every time the far-right surges back.
Ukraine, that's why. And I have predicted this way back when, at the start of this. At the beginning averyone was in the midset: "Yeah, we will support Ukraine! So what if our economy suffers a bit. Think of Ukraine! They have it worse! Let's share the burden. Let's pay to stop Russia!" Now - when energy reserves are low, it's winter, economy is going nowhere, and people realize their countries do not support them, they start singing another tune. They will vote for the government which put their country's needs first. Simple as that. And far-right parties are taking advantage of the situation. Vote for far-right is a vote of dissatisfaction. That's how voters express it. I'm not saying it's bad idea to support Ukraine. But first, let's make sure the strategy won't destroy the very EU, they are trying to join. Because if it does, then what's the point?
Would it be correct to say that nations where the right are in power are shifting and trending left (like the UK) and those with the left in power wish to move right (like Sweden and France)? It's less left/right and more people just wanting change to get out of a crisis.
Opposition parties tend to out-preform the government, be it in crisis or otherwise, but that does not always translate to election results. I think, that TLDR are sensing a trend whereby the concept of "the right" is becoming popular again. I think that since the 90's (with Blair and Clinton and all) there has been a general sense that this sort of centre-left approach is where it's at (if you take Merkel as an example, she sold herself on good governance, not on any right-wing ideas). But now people are turning back to the right wing ideology per se.
In the UK there is definitely a demand for a party that leans left economically and more than leans right on cultural issues. How no vaguely relevant party has tapped into that is staggering. The closest would be Reform, but economically speaking, they’re a bunch of Thatcherite’s.
Usually, when the economy is going down, there is a sudden rise in right-wing parties (such as after 2008 or covid). However, while most right/far-right leaders voice their disagreement with the EU itself (Hungary and Poland) most of its people are pretty pro-EU when you see how anti-EU rhetoric is stong. I think it's more that the originally left that cared about suburbs abandoned it and let the right-wing take over. This can be seen most likely in every country in the world.
In Britain certainly, Labour had two heartlands, the first was Scotland and ex-industrial North/Midland England. The former no longer trusts Westminster, and the latter have aged into old homeowners paying a mortgage and planning a retirement, while their youth moves South or abroad for work and education.
That's been the case through history, radical parties do well when the people of the country are not doing so well, but they are usually short-lived or they do a lot of damage and get kicked out, simply because they are too radical for most of the public, hence why many of the radical parties are becoming more moderate, which when they do that, they are far less of a threat because they know if they react on those radical views, the public is likely to turn on them and they might never get into power again, we see that in the EU when a party is close to winning power, they quickly change their views on the EU and Euro and in the end, they only care about winning power and will say what they think the people want to hear. What the mainstream parties should be worried about is why are the radical elements doing so well across the west and a big part of it is likely because a lot of people feel like they are getting left behind and this problem could grow until the moderates start looking after the people, we've seen a small taste of that in the UK, US and many EU countries, it's not a threat yet but it wouldn't take much for it to get much worse if the public gets fed up.
@@grievuspwn4g3 Labour took it's former heartlands for granted and became slave to Metropolitan wokism. It's former heartlands heyday was in the 1800's. Nothing of the same stature has ever replaced them or sadly looks to replace them. The government can help directly e.g. Treasury jobs in Darlington but it's tiny. Britain is the most unequal country in Europe for economy and opportunity. It's going to cost trillions not billions like West Germany faced annexing East Germany. It will be grandchildren or more probably grandchildren of grandchildren to notice any real difference. Albeit better GDP will increase the national tax revenue with the benefit to all. The aggregated GDP no longer really matters outside the M25. Whether GDP goes up or down 5%, 10% or 15% no longer matters in most of those areas. People still will probably have rubbish lives. One of Britain's aims in joining the then "Common Market" was to re-draw the rules in favour of it's regions. The original rules were set up subsidising inefficient farmers, particularly French farmers. 30% of the French economy were farmers. 80% of the budget was spent guaranteeing high prices for agricultural produce. It was naive of Britain to think the EU would make a difference to it's regions. If more money was spent on British regions it meant less money would be spent on other countries. The EU spent Objective 1 and Objective 2 money on Britain as well as others to re-train ex-miners but re-train to what? Fill shelves at Tesco? Margaret Thatcher acquired the "rebate" in the Fontainebleau Agreement but it was never going to be enough. It was exacerbated with the EU expansion. The EU now spends 30% on agricultural subsidies not 80% but 35% is now spent on EU Eastern States. Of the 10 top EU-funded capital projects all are either in Central or Eastern Europe. In the campaign for the EU Referendum a public panel was held in the North East. A "Remainer" a London journalist, on the panel said "GDP could go down by 5% if the U.K. left." A member of the public asked Who's GDP are talking about?" "Our's has been flat for years!" They are really no longer caring. They are innured to economic woes. If the game is rigged against you and spending much needed money on Eastern Europe instead etc. Then you change the game! You have nothing to lose. You are already bottom of the pile. You no longer have any "skin in the game". The worst that can happen is you stay bottom of the pile. If there is no General Election before the 1st. November 2023 politically things are set to change due to boundary changes. The net result is that Scotland will lose 2 seats, Wales 7/8 seats and England gain 10 seats. Those children you infer moving South for education and jobs are changing the dial.
Most of the support for the EU comes from younger voters, could be idealistic, about freedom to study or work rather than see further than their noses and addicted to "free" money from other EU states. In the real world loss of national sovereignty to Brussels and that other states might get tired of subsidising them might be a wake-up call.
That's cause security is a massive voter issue in Poland, even if it's not talked about openly. Nobody will entertain the idea of leaving NATO or EU, cause we don't wanna be the next Ukraine. I mentioned in a separate comment: it's kinda like states right in America. Easterners are in for economic cooperation and security, but wanna be left alone in terms of social-cultural politics. That being said, Hungary is an enigma to me. How a country that literally had an uprising against the Soviet Union in 1956 could be so in bed with Putin is puzzling.
illegal immigration and extreme woke ideology shouldn't be considered 'far right concerns'. If the 'rational' center would admit these are terrible issues then the far right would stay on the fringes, where it belongs.
Actually it is our concern. Some of us in the United States and then parts of Europe is just tired of some multiracial pink hair kid coming up to a white person and saying how bad they are just because minorities can't get ahead. For example in the United States during these 2020 riots we all understood that George Floyd may have been mishandled with the police officers in Minneapolis, Minnesota but that was no justification to start rioting and to start calling your white neighbor's racist just because they disagree with you. Also the revisionist of History trying to take down our founding father's names off of elementary schools in more liberal cities just because they had black slaves and native Americans. That's what's pissing off white people more.
@@attiepollard7847 you've misunderstood my meaning sir. I meant these issues shouldn't be only a 'far right concern'. I was trying to mean it should be everyone's concern. The left is completely ignoring it, which is disastrous for everybody!
They are far right concerns because they are only issues for people who dont agree in equal human rights. No matter how noisy those voices are they will always remain as extremist positions. If you think people fleeing poverty or trans rights are 'terrible issues', I don't think youre being honest with yourself calling yourself a moderate
Not only immigration, that special treatment to isIam is also part of it. Enough is enough. They gave isIam free hand even after doing the crime they are roaming free. France still there is time to do something before it's too late don't be like us(British).
In Poland situation is a bit different. Left parties never had popularity here, since the complete fiasco that were rules of SLD in late 90s and since then, politics are always in hands of centre and centre-right parties. (Yes both PO and PiS are just that). The only really deep right coalition Konfederacja, finally succeded and got to the Sejm in last elections, but it looks like it will not make it in the next one, as they break apart once again.
Ehh konfederacja is seeing a huge surge again and pis is like far right socially on things like lgbtq and immigration and center left economically which isint to bad
The youth in Sweden has more than in any other country in the west turned away from the leftists and greens conservative/anti-immigration instead. According to polling done around the latest election. Sweden is extremely segregated so adults sometimes never have to experience the crime wave and other negatives from mass migration, but most youths have had experiences at or around school. or have friends that have been victimized by foreigners. The future for SD is bright because of this, when you have a significant portion of the youth you are golden..generally. they have grown every election and will continue to do so.

Dude, for belgium please use VB (flemish interest) instead of N-VA (New flemish alliance). The former i widely considered way more right wing, they have the actual climate change deniers and racists, and they try to appeal to the lower/working class voters, N-VA is slowly becoming establishment (they appeal to middle and upper class), the thing that makes them right wing is that they still want independence for flanders and only see the VB as a viable coalition partner in this effort. But still, N-VA are not extreme or far right, that's VB.
True, they should also have added VB. And yes, N-VA at the moment is conservative rightwing, but they do have a lot of far right members and voters, usually their extreme rightwing members are smart enough not to voice their opinions in public, unlike the dumbos at VB. N-VA is also a member of The European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group, which had (AfD, FPÖ) and still have some highly suspect parties (Fratelli d'Italia, Vox, National Alliance and of course Law and Justice).
This is a fascinating subject that I'd love to see a more thorough examination of. As much as I appreciate your analysis - which is, as always, down to earth and straightforward - I can't help but think your conclusion is only part of a much bigger picture. Yes - the 'cost-of-living crisis' might well be a factor, but I personally believe (possibly wrongly) that it is just a surface ripple of far far deeper currents. Please TLDR, investigate further, and keep up your excellent work in the meantime :-)
Well in Slovenia I've been wondering for a while which complex woodoo statistics you have to apply to solve the mystery of SDS (our lovely right winged conspiracy people) gaining 32-34% voter share in each election... After noticing that in past three elections (parliament, presidential and referendums) SDS gained most votes in the same regions, I went and investigated a bit... After an hour and a half of looking at education, social standards, ethnicity, etc. etc. I got a bit depressed as nothing matched... And then I finally came across statistics of the percentage of people proclaiming to be part of Catholic church - and you get a nice match of which regions were in 2002 census mostly (90+%) of that religious persuasion and the regions supporting SDS. So in the end at least for our right winged side it was surprisingly simple... First you get people to believe in Santa Clause, then in Easter Bunny, after that you go to God and pastors and not long after you get to SDS and their leader Holy Janez Jansa... And yes, one of my best friends is their voter (along with his whole family) so I even have a guinea pig to test my theories on :) It wouldn't surprise me much if the mental path of most of the further right voters are going down the same not-so-complicated-deeper-currents paths as wit a bit less tinfoil and story telling logic right winged ideas would also get my support but they intentionally try to alienate anyone with a spit of sanity in tact in exchange for the clientele that are now their predominant voters (same could be said for most left leaning parties as sanity doesn't seem to get you any voters these days... left is just a smudge more sane for now... but not by much...)
Calling the Sweden Democrats "far right" has become a bad joke at this point. I have not been able to find a single legitimate argument using their political beliefs, proving that they are "far right". Yes, they have a unsavory past, but so does the majority of parties in the Swedish parliament. Shouldn't a political party be judged on what they believe now, and not what they believed decades ago? If anyone could, please provide any arguments to why the Swedish Democrats should be considered "far right"...

Worth mentioning is that the Swedish right wing coalitions popularity is dropping rapidly at the moment. Thanks to a record of broken promises that a lot of people relied on to save their economy this tough winter. While they lowered taxes for high income people only.
They have been in power for less than half a year. Only stupid people think that everything will change over one day. The left wing with the green party have been in power for years and broke a lot of promises. Strange that they expect that the right coalition suddenly should perform miracles over a day. And also I would not believe what left media is reporting. They (aftonbladet) have been bashing the new government since day one.
The rightwingers/conservatives/republicans mostly care about two things, money and power. The recent crisis has made it easier for them to manipulate the middle class into believing their fucked up world view.
The "Far Right" problem is just a sign that a shitload went wrong the last decades. Prices are raising for everything since decades but the salaries dont. Everything that is fun now getting ruled by Investors and CEOS that try to squezze every penny from its costumers. (Videogames/Sport/Tradingcards) Most ppl get wages barely enough to survive working conditions getting worse and worse for normal workers. Greed on the Financial markets breaks the economy again and again... But hey they guys who caused all the trouble stay rich and nothing will happen to them and the middle and lower class can pay the bills.

You would have a point if not for the fact that a lot of this happened under the rule of left wing parties - that's the problem. No matter what the lefties may say, the reality is that they are as much anti worker and pro large corporation as right wing. The difference is that left wing now generally panders to the middle class and wealthy, the kind who mainly complains that they can't afford to buy overpriced coffee at sturbacks every day while the right wing is trying to appeal to those who truly struggle in life.
"And now they are voting far right guys with the same economiy ideology that is the cause of this mess" Uh no? at least not where I live, what country are you getting this analysis from? I'm genuinely curious.
Europe isn't the USA the Far-right in Europe is more anti-capitalist then the Squad pretend to be. Thats because Fascism actually had roots within the continent meaning that Classical Fascism National Syndicalism dna shines through. Meanwhile America never really had it take root and as Such the only way for the Far-right to go was Pure Reactionary politics (there is an actual difference between the two) which literally can't and doesn't change economics.
5:17 On the 2022 French legislative elections: "The left-wing alliance underperformed" isn't a fair assessment, though. They got 151 seats, up 94 from 57 in 2017 (when the parties stood divided), and more than the far-right -- which was pretty much what the polls were suggesting. And the left isn't exactly fractured, they formed an alliance. It might be quite shaky, but together they are the second force in the French Parliament.
I don't know why he seems to count Rebirth (in yellow) as a left-wing ally since Rebirth and NUPES (in red, a left-wing alliance led by The Unruly France, a far-left party which, like National Rally, is anti-EU and flirts with dictatorships such as Russia and China) hate each other. Today's France is more divided between moderates and radicals than between left and right.
I didn't know this was a left leaning channel. The adjectives to describe some of the parties were the clue. I am happy that the right ideas are becoming more popular among the citizens of the continent of Europe.
oh boy am I happy for WW3 and then rebuilding of nations for few decades without facists pigs and then them coming in power and destroying everything again
@@tkokflux6322 You are the ones igniting the conflict in the first place with your false claims of progress. We only want our homes and traditional values; we do not want wars. Although you have the audacity to think you are a good person, your political views directly contribute to the eradication of entire cultures.
if you didn’t know this was a left leaning channel, it’s because it isn’t. This is a channel that values democracy and the separation of powers. You, on the other hand, seem to value other things.
I think that another way the war has impacted this is that people see the issue the same way whether they align left or right. In other words, the war showed people on both ends of the spectrum that they have more in common than they thought. This probably goes a long way to the widespread acceptance of some ideas they had previously viewed as radical.
The first example success of the far right this year was probably Marine Le Pen where she campaigned largely on the cost of living which did work for her in France. Italy always had a history of voting for right wing parties, Meloni, Salvin and Berlusconi etc. In some cases, is actually having a negative effect on the left as is the case in Germany.
The thing is, populism is more dangerous than far right ideals. In Romania we have an extremist party called AUR, that have many traditional right-wing ideals (anti-LGBTQ discourse, strong accent being put on national ideals, EU hate, covid denier rhetoric, etc.), but they are also strongly in favour of regulating the market.
The neo-liberal order of free trade and minimum trade barriers has produced a lot of wealth .. the issue is lots of this value creation has been concentrated in certain classes .. the working people of most western countries are seeing and have been seeing a steady on-going decline in their standard of living .. in the US blue collar wages have been stagnant since the 70s, white collar wages have not seen this .. The real issue for me is the complete lack of understanding from the establishment political entities of this very simple fact .. and so long as this continues the extremes are going to continue to gain ground ..
AUR nu e extremist, e mai mult moderat conservator, pentru ca nu are idei ca omorârea evreilor, a țiganilor sau excluderea lor sau excluderea musulmanilor sau a budistilor, iudeilor etc. Ideea e ca ei sunt doar conservatori și din moment ce câștiga multă popularitate e clar ca asta e modelul de societate pe care romanii și-l doresc(pana la urma e democrație, votam corect nu?) și chiar dacă nu îți convine trebuie sa te/ne supui/supunem majorității pt ca e democrație, chiar dacă nu ne convine(spre exemplu nu îmi convine ca au câștigat doar PSD și PNL alegerile de când am scăpat din comunism dar asta este situația)
As much as I dislike AUR, they are obviously not far right, but only uneducated conservatives. As a conservative myself, I would never vote for them because of the people they brought in the Parilement (Simion, Șoșoacă, Lasca).
The swedish SD were never "neo-nazi", that is completely false. A minority of members in the starting days in the 80s had ties to right-wing extremism, but the party itself never advocated for any such policies. Even so, all those extremist members left the party over 30 years ago.

Labeling anything as "far left", "left" , "centre", "right", and "far right" is meaningless unless you clearly state your perspective. As an example, some people would consider the Swedish political party SD to be "far right". Sweden as a country is very left leaning on a global scale. If you take a look their political beliefs and compared them other right wing parties in Europe, (European perspective) then you would quite quickly see that they have very little in common. In fact, most other right wing parties, would consider SD to be centre left. Attributing characterizations to political parties based on single issues will always be meaningless.
@@seb7271 very agreeable statement. I feel like "Far-right" has much more clickbait potential than the other ones you cited and it's used far too often to discredit policies and rival political parties because of the the negative connotations of the word.

If I would make a wish for the politics of 2023. It would be for both the right-side voters/politicians and the left-side voters/politicians, to try to seek understanding of where the opposing "faction/team" is coming from, instead of how it is right now. Where each side base their understanding of where the other side is coming from, on the worst possible assumptions.
That can't be said enough. Center right and center Left have always dismissed the polars on the otherwide seeing their usually unbacked lunatics, but once you call somebody extreme right or extreme left were all over each other The past year was a chance for us to meet at the middle ground and share our agendas and I hope the chance still stands

"I think gay people are groomers, and should be imprisoned." Not much to understand from the far-Right in Europe, my guy.

Globalization has been bad for working-class people in the US. We've lost most of our union jobs, and wages have stagnated for decades. The working class is the majority, you can't leave people behind and expect them to accept their fate. But it comes down to capitalism if you ask me. You leave fate to the market, the market will screw you. Capital has no loyalty, save for profits.
oh man remember what happened last time europe got all ultra nationalist😂 its like why even teach history conservatives will always try to pull us back to the dark ages
Love your guy’s reporting. The only gripe I have is that we point to the rise of the far-right as if it could never happen. Plus I think we are giving central/left leaning parties a pass. Some parties have been in power since the 1950s in one form or another so when a issue happens, whether outside or within, why wouldn’t the public automatically favor the opposite as means of solving the issue. I think Covid and the Ukraine War are big variables but they are not enough to explain the rise of conservatism. Poor management by left/central parties definitely have they’re share. I also don’t think rise of conservatism is automatically bad and there needs to be a delineation between conservative and far-right just as their should be between liberal and leftist. Again, love the video.
As much as I dislike them, n-va is not a far right party. They are somewhat accepting of lgbtq+-rights and they are acceptive of migration to a degree. There was also never a cordon sanitair against them. For Belgian politics they are rather to the right because they want to break up the country, other than that they seem to be more center right. The party you would be looking for in the Belgian context as a far right party would be "Vlaams belang". They check all the far right boxes.
I know many people who have problem with: uncontrolled immigration that rapidly changes their communities, new gender policies and multiculturalism. Those things are being shoved into peoples throats and many are fed up with it. This is a fertile ground for the right wing politics.
The parties deemed far right today have the same platforms as the parties deemed left-wing in the first half of last century. That's why they have taken over centre-left strongholds.
In the first half of the last century? So they are communist? Or people that want democracy? Most countries in Europe were not democracies back then. Or are they pro unionist? Pro civil rights? Or do you not know what you are talking about?
@@quasarlgqIndeed, if you look at the French Communist party from just 50 years ago, for instance, you would find striking similarities with the French National Rally today. Incidentally, nationalism was born on the left, you know. But hey, right and left are misleading terms anyway, it's just labels that began during the French revolution with Monarchists on the right hand side of the assembly and revolutionaries on the left hand side. You would be hard pressed to find monarchists today in the French right.
The more we dismiss the losers when we are in power, the harder is going to be the blowback. People and politicians need to make it clear that we are all in this together and every voice matter (even if we disagree). If we keep dismissing people we are only allowing them to become more extreme. Saddly for europe, this is only the beginning as their parties are still not listening. And even worst the new right wing parties winning are going to repeat the same mistakes.
Eh, Hungary has been right for decades, Italy is a very unstable mess, the UKs right completely butchered their own country, Czechia is leaning left, So is Slovakia, albeit less so. Overall, I would say that there are several larger individual right surges in various countries, but it is not a Europe wide thing, not by a long-shot.
Yes, including Hungary in a video titled "resurgence" when Orban is in power for ages was a bit silly. I think the right/left power balance will keep swinging in Europe as always. And the moderate versions of each, since the overwhelming majority of the population is moderate.
I think so to looks like the Netherlands is over its peak of ultra national populisme. Its still way to high but considering the crisseses the last couple of years that should have been much higher. Looks more to me that the less pr a system has the more extremist the country becomes. Only exception might be italy but then that country has always been a political mess.
In the end, people are going to vote on the subject they care most about. Ceaseless immigration of hostile cultures is definitely one of those matters.
"Ceaseless immigration of hostile cultures" Im getting sick just reading this bullshit, its the old "protect the white race" argument repackaged and re branded for a middle class audience. Disgusting! BTW, I have been to approx. 50 countries all over the world so far and have never encountered a "hostile culture".

I disagree. They are still lumping together a bunch of political parties calling them right wing and far right. Refusing to distinguish them in anyway. Most of these parties probably have very little in common. It's just that they agree on one or two topics. Which according to TLDR are considered right/far right. Completely ignoring the nuances in politics.
lmao, definitely not. While they are often going into excrutiating details to explain the logic of the left wing, they just as often lump together several things and forget about the chronology for the right. Like they conveniently left out, that Le Pen was forced to take loan from the russians, because nobody dared to give her a loan in the EU, also they didn't explain that the hungarian business deals with russians go back to almost a decade. Like the nuclear reactor was comissioned in around 2014, while the pipeline project was started around 2018. It is not like Hungary raised its business interactions with russia since the start of the war.
Remember, Orban is in the conservative alliance in the EU. The EVP. The Conservatives left this alliance because they were not right wing enough for them and joined forces with the ID (AFD, Lega, FN). But without Britain and now even without Poland protecting Orban he is in serious trouble.
I have no idea how it can be even possible for governments to stay in power that preach entirely different values and ideals than what its own citizens stand for. In Hungary, most people I've ever met (and I've met quite a lot) are at worst neutral toward LGBT while most have a "live and let live" attitude, and the same people care so little about religion, they turn up in church three times their entire lives, while it's a bit of a meme to say "if everyone is wishing Orbán to hell, who votes for him?" ...
Most of Orban's voters are uneducated, and living in the rural areas. Their main source of information is the national tv, which is totally controlled by Orban. There is no chance of opposite opinion in the national tv. It is a fidesz party's propaganda machine. Plus the Orban goverment has changed the constituencies to include the rural areas that way to favour to them.
@@szarvasmarha I find that hard to believe. I live in a municipality that makes a mockery of the nomer "city". No public services, and a population of less than 3400. You can go hardly more rural than that, people still hate his guts here and don't go to church either. Moreover, national TV has been completely abandoned for the myriad of cable channels ever since over-the-air broadcasting has been phased out. That being said your information is anecdotal at best, something someone from an outside perspective would say, who lives a world apart from these rural areas, maybe even in the capitol.
I vote for him. Also, most Hungarians if not a small minority from younger generations are against the LGBT propaganda. Realize being against LGBT and LGBT propaganda is two different things.
You... don't know priority issues huh? Take a look at what voters care about most and realize the lower on that list the more and more likely people are willing to ignore that issue when it comes to election day. Like, the GOP voter base could be ok with Abortion by all polling statistics but if tbeir care for abortion access is below the 10 most important issues (which it is) then most will ignore the Rep they're coting for is hard pro-life. Him being pro-life legitimately doesn't matter to them.

@@su1t0n11 they did not do that from what i heard, they called the SD formerly neo nazi. Which is true and for libtards adding the word formerly is more than i expected
I wouldn't call lumping a bunch of parties who only share one or two political opinions into "right" and "far right" very "objective". Especially when you don't even distinguish "right" and "far right" to begin with. Although, I have to agree that it has improved quite a bit since their last video.
They literally said all right wing parties are climate deniers which is insane, and attacked Italian sovereignty and conservatism by saying that being anti immigration and pro traditional values is ‘dangerous’ for the EU - what the hell???
Regarding Meloni's Brothers of Italy, it's also important to consider the "last one standing effect". Her's was the only major party not to support Draghi's government during COVID, not any government at all since the last elections. Meanwhile, all other parties ended up losing support for their participation, the populists League and Five Star Movement in particular collapsing, losing over half of their votes. The right wing voters of Salvini then most likely switched to Meloni, while of the Five Star Movement missing voters most likely only a part changed party, the majority or atleast a plurality instead straight up demobilizing, as shown by the lowest ever turnout at 64%.
True outside the west the right are seen as moderates while the left are far left. Leftists never challenge non westerners even though in their eyes they would be extreme right.
There is no point blaming conservatives for being conservative. My anger is for the left-wing parties that have screwed over the working class, who should have been their base, and driven them to the right.

It is important to note that American conservatism is very different than what right wing represents in Europe as most topics are specific to the US so it really complicates when people confuse Conservatism in the US with right wing politics of other nations. For example the #1 topic of US conversates is maintaining status quo of the US constitution in terms of limitations placed against it such as on the quantity or age or other restrictions when the constitution has no quantified limitations as written, but this is very specific to the US. Also State VS Federal laws and regulations such as recent Abortion law removal which was dictated by Federal laws in the 1960s to every state is now returning back to each state to make their own policy this is also used from the Liberal side as well such as laws that Permit some hard dugs or Marijuana, it's pretty much the same idea each US state makes their own laws be it for Marijuana and for Abortion you can't have it one way and not the other and I 100% agree with that regardless of being pro Abortion which I am. But this is very very specific to the US and has nothing to do with any other country.
It may not be all that confusing because if you go on The Young Turks they always compare Republicans to what's going on with the conservative parties in Europe.

It’s not true the marijuana is left up to the states, the federal government still classifies it as a schedule one drug. It’s also not the same as abortion in other ways, roe v wade prevent either the fed or the states from banning it, it was a protection of right from interference from both, which was then removed. Now abortions can be banned federally, some that couldn’t have happened before. It wasn’t leaving it to the states, it was taking away protections from people and handing it to the government, of which only the states have actually banned abortions.
@@Bluestarr Maybe look into the actual laws before you start railing against them. Roe V Wade was a ruling on an unrelated law that effectively made a law while bypassing the legislative system. Essentially the Supreme Court decided that they wanted something to be legal, and rather then have to go through the legal channels for a law to be made, they made a ruling that undermined the entire legal system
Same for the UK. No far-right party here. Having a largely two-party first past the post system helps keep out extremists. It's built in. The post-war liberal democracy hegenomy is in tatters. It's economics don't work. It doesn't stop "globalism", the World Economic Forum ~ Davos that leave rust belt regions with nothing to replace the staple economic base. What's wrong with Populism anyway? That's the snooty elites of the old liberal democracies on the retreat, the "Blob" trying to maintain power and deny it to others.

Wow dude such an intelligent comment. So what does work? Why does nothing work? We need to see that the media and the elite are anti-socialist. Because of that we will lose every election. Liberalism/conservatism/fascism will not fix our problems. We need to organise and make a push to the left.
Invisibly the European “left” is a joke currently. That’s why I said that WE need to organise.

I am Italian. Meloni is certainly a right-wing politician but I would not say that she is "anti-establishment": her party was formed in 2012 by breaking away from the then huge Berlusconi's party, the symbol of the Italian political and financial establishment. In general, Italians are not anti-establishment, they subconsciously understand that without the establishment the whole system would collapse and few want this. The Italians just wanted another more conservative establishment.
No one of these so called "anti-establishment" right wing populists really are anti-establishment.
Trump was a billionaire in the country of capitalism, before riding the right wing wave into presidency bolsonaro had a 30 year long career as a low ranking politician
Meloni is anti-establishment, simply because she will end up becoming another Mussolini. Here's why I think so: at times, Giorgia Meloni rigorously played down her party’s connection with fascism and the Italian Social Movement. In 2020, she praised Almirante as a “patriot” and extolled his “unconditional love for Italy, his honesty, his coherence, his courage.” Years ago, Meloni went even further, saying in a television interview, “I think Mussolini was a good politician. Everything he did, he did for Italy.” She has since walked back those comments.
Furthermore, Meloni’s predecessor as leader of the Brothers of Italy, Ignaio La Russa, said, “We are all heirs of Il Duce.” The party’s logo uses the same tricolor flame that the Italian Social Movement used. “To have the flame means, in some ways, that you are the true descendants of the [Italian Social Movement] and, thus, of the Duce himself,” wrote historian Tobias Jones.
In 2019, several mayors from the Brothers of Italy held a celebratory dinner on the anniversary of Mussolini’s 1922 March on Rome. And another party that is a likely member of the next Italian coalition, the Northern League, likewise honors Mussolini’s legacy. Its leader, Matteo Salvini, has modeled himself after Il Duce, posing in similar ways, using some of the same slogans, and speaking from the same locations.
I think this EVIDENCE is more than enough to make one assume the worst. I'm only being logical here.
Here's what I think will GENUINELY happen if Italy becomes fascist again: it won't be just Italy, it has to be a United Europe that is FASCIST, FAR-RIGHT. Germany will be leading, NOBODY wins Germany in terms of radicalization and far right policies. If Italy becomes fascist, Germany will be Nazi once again. But this time we are looking at a Europe that stands UNITED in an ideology that binds them all. Meloni in Italy, a new Reich in Germany, VOX in Spain, Marine LP in France, Orban in Hungary, The Vatican to unite the european people under one christianity, etc.
Everything is pointing in that direction. Let's wait and see how things evolve. All I know is that, if Europe becomes that MONSTER once again, it will auto-destruct itself. The Russians, The Chinese and the whole of Asia will STRIKE EUROPE LIKE A THUNDER, AND WILL RUN EVERYONE DOWN TO THE POINT WHERE NOONE IS LEFT ALIVE.

Imo as an American commentator, it’s simply natural blowback that was bound to happen at some point. The longer a certain voter group feels they’ve been denied representation, the more fervent they’ll be, which leads to better showings at the polls. In the same manner the left wing is building huge momentum in the UK after not being represented for so long, the right wing had a lot of built up support across many European countries. Particularly, it’s the perception of underrepresentation that matters, not necessarily actually being so. And that plays a large role in how this new right has sprung up so quickly from the fringes. Because the new right wing feels that the old right did not represent them either, there’s a sensation amongst those citizens that it hasn’t just been a few election cycles since they were in power, but that it’s been much longer, since they only consider these right wing populists to be truly representative. Going back to the UK, I think the turnover of multiple conservative PM’s only further exacerbates the sentiment for the left that they’ve been locked out of power.
This imo is mostly a product of the multi party system. In American politics, such a build up doesn’t work the same because our two party system leaves both left and right wing voters constantly feeling like we’re being screwed no matter who’s in charge 😂
On the face multiple party systems seem great but are really terrible in practice because they can move to "clientalism". After the election the problems start when the horse-trading is done behind closed doors and the plum jobs handed out and can take weeks or months.
The tried and tested mainly two party system were the policies are costed up front before presentation to the voter is far better. It is hard for far left or for fight parties to operate in a two party system.
As for the U.K. post-war deference was given to politicians. There are some good politicians but the stock has sunk. Largely through the expenses scandal. Politicians are not people with "special powers" or 7 foot tall.
Britain is different than continental Europe. Public want to be part of government not overthrow it. The Great Reform Act and women's suffrage ensured it. People want to know who their MP is beforehand and what they stand for. In fact the voter wants to vote themselves "instead" of the politician. The MP's are basically delegates these days. With the growth of 24h t.v. and social media the voter is well informed and would like to take the decisions themselves rather than farm it out to politicians. Politicians aren't that trusted, even with a manifesto.
Polls show Labour in front but I am not at all convinced they will win the next Gerneral Election. Back in '70 Labour were leading the polls with a week to go but the Conservatives won. My view is also Labour are stacking up votes where they don't need them in safe seats in London, Birmingham, Manchester & Liverpool.
UK politics has changed probably forever. Nigel Farage and UKIP were the first to see it.
Scotland used to be a heartland for Labour, the 40-odd seats were needed mathematically to get over the line into government.
With the SNP claiming most seats Labour and the Conservatives have to look elsewhere. Neither stand in Northern Ireland.
Labour have safe seats in the metropolitan cities.
Conservatives have safe seats in the "Shires" with the LibDems their only real rivals.
Therefore the Red Wall-type seats being now indispensable. They are the ONLY seats available to both parties.
Both parties have to present policies to the Red Wall-type seats. Mathematically they are vital for a government.
Both have the danger that voters might be apathetic and stay home.
Another mathematical crucial point is that if there is no General Election before 1st. November 2023 boundary changes can change things in favour of the Conservative Party.
Scotland is down to lose 2 seats.
Wales are down to lose 7/8 seats.
England are down to gain 10 seats.
Predicted that overall it will favour the Conservatives.
In the EU only the Parliament is publicly elected. The Council and Commission are the only ones able to initiate legislation and neither are voted in publicly. Officials are appointed not elected. It was set up that way on purpose. No one voted for Ursula the President. The public aren't trusted by the EU.The Council and Commission aren't directly accountable. This democratic deficit is one of the things that need to be addressed if the EU is to have much of a future. There are 10,000 people in Brussels on more money than the Prime Minister.
It's a great reason to leave the EU.
The tories in the Uk have a very similar platform to labour. Labour just leads in the polls because of relentless tory scandals and mismanagement.
@@English_Dawn The bit I don't understand with the UK is how you deal with all the little local MP elections being winner-takes-all. A 40% vote for party A can translate into 100% representation when there's a single seat to take and no-one else is large enough.
A lot of these guys want to both get legitimized by the mainstream right/conservatives, but also supplant them in the long term.
It's always worst when you get to deal with your own fringe, the guys who think they are the better, more pure versions of you.
@@English_Dawn And yet, virtually every country with a two-party system wants to switch to a multiparty system, the best-run countries and the countries with the highest qualities of life in the world are multi-party democracies. Two parties leave voters feeling underrepresented. And what you suggest is a form of direct democracy, which is used in a form in Switzerland, which is also a multi-party democracy.
Is Sweden democrat really a far-right party now?
Apart from immigration what's their other policies that can be considered far-right?
Can anyone help?
They have been fed and fooled by left wing propaganda.
Well the thing is, when you have a history people don't believe you've changed and are under no obligation to. Also far right can be used within the context of the country's politics. Merkel for example is considered conservative yet is left wing compared to both American parties
It's not necessarily about what policies they are proposing as part of the coalition or what position they feel like they need to take to win votes in this moment, its about who forms the party, what their core beliefs are, what are the underlying assumptions they make about the world, and how that will affect their future policy making if they keep gaining power. And it does not take too much thought to deduce any of those things. The have all the makings of a far-right party, all they need is an environment to flourish.
They are on the right side....but far right is taking the piss. But its easier to get a point across to have more parties thrown into the far right. But I guess whole of Denmark is far right then since they have somewhat similar policies ;)
Their economic policies are generally about less welfare state and benefits
Orban was meddling with the media and in turn, was able to blunt all of his political opponents to the point where he can become a Lukashenko within the EU

Ironic how Belgium was a founder of the Iron and Steel Community. Particularly how Imperial Germany clipped a corner of Belgium as part of the Schlieffen Plan in the the First World War.
Sadly you suffer the lot of all countries with a modest population, like the Republic of Ireland. You get less seats in the only part of the EU that is subject to a public vote, the weak Parliament. This will only get worse for countries like you when Eastern Expansion takes place, particularly if the Ukraine joins. This will dilute your political power even more. Belgium will still be expected to pay for the feckless Southern and Eastern States. You will be used as a "mug" to have less "voice" politically and sign the cheques for others who may run up debt for the Eurozone. It might not end well.
Against this background centre right parties might be your only hope.
In times of economic and military instability the extreme opposition always finds the populist vote regardless if they are right or left leaning. If the population is told to suffer bad management and failed policies that support the elite interests, while leaving the majority of population to fend off for itself, populism is a natural outcome of this.
Yes, but the moral responsability for bringing them to power kind of falls on the population afterwards, economic hardship is just a side-note social cause compared to the results.
Sadly the people fail to realize the right wing governments will also implement policies that take from the poor and middle class and siphon it up to the wealthy.
@@madalinaanton3253 if you think the average voter even has a concept of moral responsibility as opposed to being driven solely by "I like the things this guy is saying" compounded with "somebody really should DO something already about all those problems", then I've got a bridge to sell you...
@@madalinaanton3253 Just stop. As long as you European liberals keep blaming the rise of the far right on "one day, the voters suddenly became evil and racist" instead of realizing that the rise of the far right was a direct reaction to the terrible, heavy handed immigration policies you implemented, the far right will never go away. I have never seen you arrogant people exercise even a modicum of introspection, and frankly its baffling how much you people outright refuse to learn this lesson every time the far-right surges back.
Ukraine, that's why. And I have predicted this way back when, at the start of this. At the beginning averyone was in the midset: "Yeah, we will support Ukraine! So what if our economy suffers a bit. Think of Ukraine! They have it worse! Let's share the burden. Let's pay to stop Russia!"
Now - when energy reserves are low, it's winter, economy is going nowhere, and people realize their countries do not support them, they start singing another tune. They will vote for the government which put their country's needs first. Simple as that. And far-right parties are taking advantage of the situation. Vote for far-right is a vote of dissatisfaction. That's how voters express it. I'm not saying it's bad idea to support Ukraine. But first, let's make sure the strategy won't destroy the very EU, they are trying to join. Because if it does, then what's the point?
Would it be correct to say that nations where the right are in power are shifting and trending left (like the UK) and those with the left in power wish to move right (like Sweden and France)?
It's less left/right and more people just wanting change to get out of a crisis.
Opposition parties tend to out-preform the government, be it in crisis or otherwise, but that does not always translate to election results. I think, that TLDR are sensing a trend whereby the concept of "the right" is becoming popular again. I think that since the 90's (with Blair and Clinton and all) there has been a general sense that this sort of centre-left approach is where it's at (if you take Merkel as an example, she sold herself on good governance, not on any right-wing ideas). But now people are turning back to the right wing ideology per se.
This exactly, thank you!
In the UK there is definitely a demand for a party that leans left economically and more than leans right on cultural issues. How no vaguely relevant party has tapped into that is staggering. The closest would be Reform, but economically speaking, they’re a bunch of Thatcherite’s.
@@cobbler9113 isn't that just Red Toryism?
@@ShadowSkryba I suspect in the UK that would be what it would be called. Also Blue Labour is another such term that gets thrown around.
Usually, when the economy is going down, there is a sudden rise in right-wing parties (such as after 2008 or covid). However, while most right/far-right leaders voice their disagreement with the EU itself (Hungary and Poland) most of its people are pretty pro-EU when you see how anti-EU rhetoric is stong. I think it's more that the originally left that cared about suburbs abandoned it and let the right-wing take over. This can be seen most likely in every country in the world.
In Britain certainly, Labour had two heartlands, the first was Scotland and ex-industrial North/Midland England. The former no longer trusts Westminster, and the latter have aged into old homeowners paying a mortgage and planning a retirement, while their youth moves South or abroad for work and education.
That's been the case through history, radical parties do well when the people of the country are not doing so well, but they are usually short-lived or they do a lot of damage and get kicked out, simply because they are too radical for most of the public, hence why many of the radical parties are becoming more moderate, which when they do that, they are far less of a threat because they know if they react on those radical views, the public is likely to turn on them and they might never get into power again, we see that in the EU when a party is close to winning power, they quickly change their views on the EU and Euro and in the end, they only care about winning power and will say what they think the people want to hear.
What the mainstream parties should be worried about is why are the radical elements doing so well across the west and a big part of it is likely because a lot of people feel like they are getting left behind and this problem could grow until the moderates start looking after the people, we've seen a small taste of that in the UK, US and many EU countries, it's not a threat yet but it wouldn't take much for it to get much worse if the public gets fed up.
@@grievuspwn4g3 Labour took it's former heartlands for granted and became slave to Metropolitan wokism.
It's former heartlands heyday was in the 1800's. Nothing of the same stature has ever replaced them or sadly looks to replace them. The government can help directly e.g. Treasury jobs in Darlington but it's tiny. Britain is the most unequal country in Europe for economy and opportunity. It's going to cost trillions not billions like West Germany faced annexing East Germany. It will be grandchildren or more probably grandchildren of grandchildren to notice any real difference. Albeit better GDP will increase the national tax revenue with the benefit to all. The aggregated GDP no longer really matters outside the M25.
Whether GDP goes up or down 5%, 10% or 15% no longer matters in most of those areas. People still will probably have rubbish lives.
One of Britain's aims in joining the then "Common Market" was to re-draw the rules in favour of it's regions. The original rules were set up subsidising inefficient farmers, particularly French farmers. 30% of the French economy were farmers. 80% of the budget was spent guaranteeing high prices for agricultural produce.
It was naive of Britain to think the EU would make a difference to it's regions. If more money was spent on British regions it meant less money would be spent on other countries.
The EU spent Objective 1 and Objective 2 money on Britain as well as others to re-train ex-miners but re-train to what? Fill shelves at Tesco?
Margaret Thatcher acquired the "rebate" in the Fontainebleau Agreement but it was never going to be enough. It was exacerbated with the EU expansion. The EU now spends 30% on agricultural subsidies not 80% but 35% is now spent on EU Eastern States.
Of the 10 top EU-funded capital projects all are either in Central or Eastern Europe.
In the campaign for the EU Referendum a public panel was held in the North East. A "Remainer" a London journalist, on the panel said "GDP could go down by 5% if the U.K. left." A member of the public asked Who's GDP are talking about?" "Our's has been flat for years!"
They are really no longer caring. They are innured to economic woes.
If the game is rigged against you and spending much needed money on Eastern Europe instead etc. Then you change the game! You have nothing to lose. You are already bottom of the pile. You no longer have any "skin in the game". The worst that can happen is you stay bottom of the pile.
If there is no General Election before the 1st. November 2023 politically things are set to change due to boundary changes.
The net result is that Scotland will lose 2 seats, Wales 7/8 seats and England gain 10 seats. Those children you infer moving South for education and jobs are changing the dial.
Most of the support for the EU comes from younger voters, could be idealistic, about freedom to study or work rather than see further than their noses and addicted to "free" money from other EU states.
In the real world loss of national sovereignty to Brussels and that other states might get tired of subsidising them might be a wake-up call.
That's cause security is a massive voter issue in Poland, even if it's not talked about openly. Nobody will entertain the idea of leaving NATO or EU, cause we don't wanna be the next Ukraine.
I mentioned in a separate comment: it's kinda like states right in America. Easterners are in for economic cooperation and security, but wanna be left alone in terms of social-cultural politics.
That being said, Hungary is an enigma to me. How a country that literally had an uprising against the Soviet Union in 1956 could be so in bed with Putin is puzzling.
Love you guys. Please keep bringing us great reporting in 2023.

illegal immigration and extreme woke ideology shouldn't be considered 'far right concerns'. If the 'rational' center would admit these are terrible issues then the far right would stay on the fringes, where it belongs.
Actually it is our concern. Some of us in the United States and then parts of Europe is just tired of some multiracial pink hair kid coming up to a white person and saying how bad they are just because minorities can't get ahead.
For example in the United States during these 2020 riots we all understood that George Floyd may have been mishandled with the police officers in Minneapolis, Minnesota but that was no justification to start rioting and to start calling your white neighbor's racist just because they disagree with you. Also the revisionist of History trying to take down our founding father's names off of elementary schools in more liberal cities just because they had black slaves and native Americans. That's what's pissing off white people more.
@@attiepollard7847 you've misunderstood my meaning sir. I meant these issues shouldn't be only a 'far right concern'. I was trying to mean it should be everyone's concern. The left is completely ignoring it, which is disastrous for everybody!
They are far right concerns because they are only issues for people who dont agree in equal human rights. No matter how noisy those voices are they will always remain as extremist positions. If you think people fleeing poverty or trans rights are 'terrible issues', I don't think youre being honest with yourself calling yourself a moderate

I think you need to check the demographics of the voters for right wing party in Sweden.
A large percentage were young women.
The youth in Sweden has more than in any other country in the west turned away from the leftists and greens conservative/anti-immigration instead. According to polling done around the latest election. Sweden is extremely segregated so adults sometimes never have to experience the crime wave and other negatives from mass migration, but most youths have had experiences at or around school. or have friends that have been victimized by foreigners. The future for SD is bright because of this, when you have a significant portion of the youth you are golden..generally. they have grown every election and will continue to do so.

Dude, for belgium please use VB (flemish interest) instead of N-VA (New flemish alliance). The former i widely considered way more right wing, they have the actual climate change deniers and racists, and they try to appeal to the lower/working class voters, N-VA is slowly becoming establishment (they appeal to middle and upper class), the thing that makes them right wing is that they still want independence for flanders and only see the VB as a viable coalition partner in this effort. But still, N-VA are not extreme or far right, that's VB.
Very true
I don't even think they know about VB
Indeed, i also thought somethign was wrong with this video on the beginning xD There is also no Cordon Sanitair against NVA just against Vlaams Belang
True, they should also have added VB. And yes, N-VA at the moment is conservative rightwing, but they do have a lot of far right members and voters, usually their extreme rightwing members are smart enough not to voice their opinions in public, unlike the dumbos at VB. N-VA is also a member of The European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group, which had (AfD, FPÖ) and still have some highly suspect parties (Fratelli d'Italia, Vox, National Alliance and of course Law and Justice).
You guys are giving the proof of EU has shifted right. NVA is extreme right, stop pushing their strategy forward. Do not fool the public please!
This is a fascinating subject that I'd love to see a more thorough examination of. As much as I appreciate your analysis - which is, as always, down to earth and straightforward - I can't help but think your conclusion is only part of a much bigger picture. Yes - the 'cost-of-living crisis' might well be a factor, but I personally believe (possibly wrongly) that it is just a surface ripple of far far deeper currents.
Please TLDR, investigate further, and keep up your excellent work in the meantime :-)
Well and what is the bigger picture?
Well in Slovenia I've been wondering for a while which complex woodoo statistics you have to apply to solve the mystery of SDS (our lovely right winged conspiracy people) gaining 32-34% voter share in each election...
After noticing that in past three elections (parliament, presidential and referendums) SDS gained most votes in the same regions, I went and investigated a bit...
After an hour and a half of looking at education, social standards, ethnicity, etc. etc. I got a bit depressed as nothing matched...
And then I finally came across statistics of the percentage of people proclaiming to be part of Catholic church - and you get a nice match of which regions were in 2002 census mostly (90+%) of that religious persuasion and the regions supporting SDS.
So in the end at least for our right winged side it was surprisingly simple... First you get people to believe in Santa Clause, then in Easter Bunny, after that you go to God and pastors and not long after you get to SDS and their leader Holy Janez Jansa...
And yes, one of my best friends is their voter (along with his whole family) so I even have a guinea pig to test my theories on :)
It wouldn't surprise me much if the mental path of most of the further right voters are going down the same not-so-complicated-deeper-currents paths as wit a bit less tinfoil and story telling logic right winged ideas would also get my support but they intentionally try to alienate anyone with a spit of sanity in tact in exchange for the clientele that are now their predominant voters (same could be said for most left leaning parties as sanity doesn't seem to get you any voters these days... left is just a smudge more sane for now... but not by much...)
Europe has been doing that for 20 years, not just this year
Calling the Sweden Democrats "far right" has become a bad joke at this point. I have not been able to find a single legitimate argument using their political beliefs, proving that they are "far right".

"And now they are voting far right guys with the same economiy ideology that is the cause of this mess" Uh no? at least not where I live, what country are you getting this analysis from? I'm genuinely curious.
Europe isn't the USA the Far-right in Europe is more anti-capitalist then the Squad pretend to be. Thats because Fascism actually had roots within the continent meaning that Classical Fascism National Syndicalism dna shines through.
Meanwhile America never really had it take root and as Such the only way for the Far-right to go was Pure Reactionary politics (there is an actual difference between the two) which literally can't and doesn't change economics.
5:17 On the 2022 French legislative elections: "The left-wing alliance underperformed" isn't a fair assessment, though. They got 151 seats, up 94 from 57 in 2017 (when the parties stood divided), and more than the far-right -- which was pretty much what the polls were suggesting. And the left isn't exactly fractured, they formed an alliance. It might be quite shaky, but together they are the second force in the French Parliament.
I don't know why he seems to count Rebirth (in yellow) as a left-wing ally since Rebirth and NUPES (in red, a left-wing alliance led by The Unruly France, a far-left party which, like National Rally, is anti-EU and flirts with dictatorships such as Russia and China) hate each other. Today's France is more divided between moderates and radicals than between left and right.
True! I also was confused by his explanation there, since Nupes united the left and performed well.
Denying climate change isn't "solidly conservitive", it's just being factually wrong.
I didn't know this was a left leaning channel. The adjectives to describe some of the parties were the clue.
I am happy that the right ideas are becoming more popular among the citizens of the continent of Europe.

I think that another way the war has impacted this is that people see the issue the same way whether they align left or right. In other words, the war showed people on both ends of the spectrum that they have more in common than they thought. This probably goes a long way to the widespread acceptance of some ideas they had previously viewed as radical.
The first example success of the far right this year was probably Marine Le Pen where she campaigned largely on the cost of living which did work for her in France. Italy always had a history of voting for right wing parties, Meloni, Salvin and Berlusconi etc. In some cases, is actually having a negative effect on the left as is the case in Germany.
Le Pen aint far right. Her father was
The thing is, populism is more dangerous than far right ideals. In Romania we have an extremist party called AUR, that have many traditional right-wing ideals (anti-LGBTQ discourse, strong accent being put on national ideals, EU hate, covid denier rhetoric, etc.), but they are also strongly in favour of regulating the market.
The neo-liberal order of free trade and minimum trade barriers has produced a lot of wealth .. the issue is lots of this value creation has been concentrated in certain classes .. the working people of most western countries are seeing and have been seeing a steady on-going decline in their standard of living .. in the US blue collar wages have been stagnant since the 70s, white collar wages have not seen this ..
The real issue for me is the complete lack of understanding from the establishment political entities of this very simple fact .. and so long as this continues the extremes are going to continue to gain ground ..
AUR nu e extremist, e mai mult moderat conservator, pentru ca nu are idei ca omorârea evreilor, a țiganilor sau excluderea lor sau excluderea musulmanilor sau a budistilor, iudeilor etc.
Ideea e ca ei sunt doar conservatori
și din moment ce câștiga multă popularitate e clar ca asta e modelul de societate pe care romanii și-l doresc(pana la urma e democrație, votam corect nu?) și chiar dacă nu îți convine trebuie sa te/ne supui/supunem majorității pt ca e democrație, chiar dacă nu ne convine(spre exemplu nu îmi convine ca au câștigat doar PSD și PNL alegerile de când am scăpat din comunism dar asta este situația)
As much as I dislike AUR, they are obviously not far right, but only uneducated conservatives. As a conservative myself, I would never vote for them because of the people they brought in the Parilement (Simion, Șoșoacă, Lasca).
The swedish SD were never "neo-nazi", that is completely false. A minority of members in the starting days in the 80s had ties to right-wing extremism, but the party itself never advocated for any such policies. Even so, all those extremist members left the party over 30 years ago.

As an example, some people would consider the Swedish political party SD to be "far right".
Sweden as a country is very left leaning on a global scale.
If you take a look their political beliefs and compared them other right wing parties in Europe, (European perspective) then you would quite quickly see that they have very little in common. In fact, most other right wing parties, would consider SD to be centre left.

If I would make a wish for the politics of 2023. It would be for both the right-side voters/politicians and the left-side voters/politicians, to try to seek understanding of where the opposing "faction/team" is coming from, instead of how it is right now. Where each side base their understanding of where the other side is coming from, on the worst possible assumptions.
That can't be said enough. Center right and center Left have always dismissed the polars on the otherwide seeing their usually unbacked lunatics, but once you call somebody extreme right or extreme left were all over each other

Love your guy’s reporting. The only gripe I have is that we point to the rise of the far-right as if it could never happen. Plus I think we are giving central/left leaning parties a pass. Some parties have been in power since the 1950s in one form or another so when a issue happens, whether outside or within, why wouldn’t the public automatically favor the opposite as means of solving the issue. I think Covid and the Ukraine War are big variables but they are not enough to explain the rise of conservatism. Poor management by left/central parties definitely have they’re share. I also don’t think rise of conservatism is automatically bad and there needs to be a delineation between conservative and far-right just as their should be between liberal and leftist. Again, love the video.
As much as I dislike them, n-va is not a far right party. They are somewhat accepting of lgbtq+-rights and they are acceptive of migration to a degree. There was also never a cordon sanitair against them. For Belgian politics they are rather to the right because they want to break up the country, other than that they seem to be more center right. The party you would be looking for in the Belgian context as a far right party would be "Vlaams belang". They check all the far right boxes.
I know many people who have problem with: uncontrolled immigration that rapidly changes their communities, new gender policies and multiculturalism.
Those things are being shoved into peoples throats and many are fed up with it. This is a fertile ground for the right wing politics.
Maybe they should go back to school. Anyone with those opinions are less intelligent.
The parties deemed far right today have the same platforms as the parties deemed left-wing in the first half of last century. That's why they have taken over centre-left strongholds.
Bro saying that far right parties want to take us back to 1900 isn't the dub you think it is lmao

Eh, Hungary has been right for decades, Italy is a very unstable mess, the UKs right completely butchered their own country, Czechia is leaning left, So is Slovakia, albeit less so. Overall, I would say that there are several larger individual right surges in various countries, but it is not a Europe wide thing, not by a long-shot.
Is Czechia really leaning left? Right now conservatives are in power, together with some internet weirdos, and socialdemocrats are out of parliament.
Yes, including Hungary in a video titled "resurgence" when Orban is in power for ages was a bit silly. I think the right/left power balance will keep swinging in Europe as always. And the moderate versions of each, since the overwhelming majority of the population is moderate.
The Communists and Social Democrats lost all their seats in parliament last year so I wouldn't say that Czech Republic is leaning left at all.
I think so to looks like the Netherlands is over its peak of ultra national populisme. Its still way to high but considering the crisseses the last couple of years that should have been much higher. Looks more to me that the less pr a system has the more extremist the country becomes. Only exception might be italy but then that country has always been a political mess.

@@seb7271 yes you’re right, this is still a problem, but it’s not as bad as it has been
lmao, definitely not. While they are often going into excrutiating details to explain the logic of the left wing, they just as often lump together several things and forget about the chronology for the right. Like they conveniently left out, that Le Pen was forced to take loan from the russians, because nobody dared to give her a loan in the EU, also they didn't explain that the hungarian business deals with russians go back to almost a decade. Like the nuclear reactor was comissioned in around 2014, while the pipeline project was started around 2018. It is not like Hungary raised its business interactions with russia since the start of the war.
I think this is good for Europe in the long term. They can stop the imposition of Sharia law in Europe.
What is not good is the parties being connected to Russia.
Remember, Orban is in the conservative alliance in the EU. The EVP. The Conservatives left this alliance because they were not right wing enough for them and joined forces with the ID (AFD, Lega, FN).
But without Britain and now even without Poland protecting Orban he is in serious trouble.
He has Italy now
no, he is ultra-conservative.
I have no idea how it can be even possible for governments to stay in power that preach entirely different values and ideals than what its own citizens stand for. In Hungary, most people I've ever met (and I've met quite a lot) are at worst neutral toward LGBT while most have a "live and let live" attitude, and the same people care so little about religion, they turn up in church three times their entire lives, while it's a bit of a meme to say "if everyone is wishing Orbán to hell, who votes for him?" ...
Most of Orban's voters are uneducated, and living in the rural areas. Their main source of information is the national tv, which is totally controlled by Orban. There is no chance of opposite opinion in the national tv. It is a fidesz party's propaganda machine. Plus the Orban goverment has changed the constituencies to include the rural areas that way to favour to them.

Moreover, national TV has been completely abandoned for the myriad of cable channels ever since over-the-air broadcasting has been phased out.

Regarding Meloni's Brothers of Italy, it's also important to consider the "last one standing effect". Her's was the only major party not to support Draghi's government during COVID, not any government at all since the last elections. Meanwhile, all other parties ended up losing support for their participation, the populists League and Five Star Movement in particular collapsing, losing over half of their votes. The right wing voters of Salvini then most likely switched to Meloni, while of the Five Star Movement missing voters most likely only a part changed party, the majority or atleast a plurality instead straight up demobilizing, as shown by the lowest ever turnout at 64%.

It is important to note that American conservatism is very different than what right wing represents in Europe as most topics are specific to the US so it really complicates when people confuse Conservatism in the US with right wing politics of other nations. For example the #1 topic of US conversates is maintaining status quo of the US constitution in terms of limitations placed against it such as on the quantity or age or other restrictions when the constitution has no quantified limitations as written, but this is very specific to the US. Also State VS Federal laws and regulations such as recent Abortion law removal which was dictated by Federal laws in the 1960s to every state is now returning back to each state to make their own policy this is also used from the Liberal side as well such as laws that Permit some hard dugs or Marijuana, it's pretty much the same idea each US state makes their own laws be it for Marijuana and for Abortion you can't have it one way and not the other and I 100% agree with that regardless of being pro Abortion which I am. But this is very very specific to the US and has nothing to do with any other country.

It’s not true the marijuana is left up to the states, the federal government still classifies it as a schedule one drug. It’s also not the same as abortion in other ways, roe v wade prevent either the fed or the states from banning it, it was a protection of right from interference from both, which was then removed. Now abortions can be banned federally, some that couldn’t have happened before. It wasn’t leaving it to the states, it was taking away protections from people and handing it to the government, of which only the states have actually banned abortions.
@@Bluestarr Maybe look into the actual laws before you start railing against them. Roe V Wade was a ruling on an unrelated law that effectively made a law while bypassing the legislative system. Essentially the Supreme Court decided that they wanted something to be legal, and rather then have to go through the legal channels for a law to be made, they made a ruling that undermined the entire legal system
