  1. Every time I think of these right wing nationalist, I think of opportunist, basically playing on the tune of what they think people want to hear and not what they can deliver, anything to gain any kinds of power. I keep seeing this trend where some see these groups of political parties as a threat, but the closer they get to any kind of power, the more they tone things down, basically reality kicks in, they know they can't BS the people with unrealistic outcomes when their neck could be on the line, when in opposition, they can more or less say anything they want to the people with no consequences, but when close to getting power or in power, it's a different ball game. Basically, it boils down to them saying anything, regardless of lies, just as long as it helps them win power, once in power, they have to tone things down a lot, mainly because most people don't want radical outcomes, they want a stable ship that improves things for all, they also know that they've been given a chance of power by the people, if they mess up, they might not get back into power again, so all the talk on what they said they'll do, gets toned down a lot once in power, we are seeing that in Italy, we've seen it in other countries. The only time these political parties are really a threat is when there's a majority of people in the country that thinks like them, which is rare, and if that were to happen, there's far more problems in the country than they realise, so don't worry about these political parties in what they say they want to do, worry a lot more if there's a majority of people that think the way these radicals think, that's when it could become a real problem So in the end, I take all this nationalist rise with a pinch of salt, as in, not really changing anything, apart from scaring the established parties, but the irony in all that, these radicalism parties seem to end up toning things down so much that they look more like a moderate party, makes sense, if they appeal to the people a lot more, they are more likely to win more elections and hold onto power.
