It’s been reported that in the German elections, a far right party has made ‘significant gains’.
In the UK (at least before the scandals) Reform UK seems to have had a significant boost and has even surpassed the right-wing Conservative Party in some polls/predictions.
Even France, one or two years ago, was threatened with a far-right government due to the French far right party gaining a lot of support.
It feels like in the last few years, the far-right has exceeded itself and had a surge in popularity. Is this the case? And if so, wtf is fuelling it?
Perhaps I didn’t really word my initial statement quite right: I’m political, just not party political. I have ‘political’ views, they just don’t align well at any one point, and so I don’t describe myself as on any particular point, After reading your post, I think you get what I’m saying, though.
That could be, and I definitely understand and sympathize with that stance a lot more. Sorry for coming across aggressively, I’m used to people refusing to engage but also complaining about the state of their world, so I don’t have a lot of tolerance for neutrality these days.
Fair enough. I get that — I don’t like people presuming the wrong intent of my words.
Neither do I, which is why it’s important to be clear with them.
