Italy has already elected a far right government that endorses fascist rallies
AfD is making record gains in Germany
National Rally are poised to win elections in France
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In the Netherlands, Geert Wilders’ anti-immigration far-right Freedom Party won the 2023 election on a campaign that tied affordable housing to restrictions on immigration — a focus that struck a chord with young voters.
In Portugal, too, the far-right party Chega, which means “enough” in Portuguese, drew on young people’s frustration with the housing crisis, among other quality-of-life concerns.
In 2022, while Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s far-right Brothers of Italy received votes from every age bracket, data suggested the young favored left-wing parties more.
Bardella’s strong presence on TikTok might have something to do with it: Pollsters found that about one-third of young people said they rely on the app to follow the election campaign.
The survey results also don’t automatically translate into electoral success, as the researchers estimated just 30 percent of young people would end up casting a ballot.
“Flemish Interest is very well aware of this, and explicitly targets young women in its campaign to adjust its image,” said Peter Van Aelst, a professor at the University of Antwerp.
The original article contains 960 words, the summary contains 172 words. Saved 82%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
This hasn’t sprouted up for no reason, it’s an almost inevitable result of neoliberalism, which is a form of capitalism in decay. Trump, too, is more a symptom than cause.
Even liberal Chris Hedges saw what was coming fifteen years go when he wrote Death of the Liberal Class.
