Comments by "Acid Joke" (@PWMoze) on "Major European Powers Lean Right in Recent Elections || Peter Zeihan" video.

  1. The movement towards the right in Europe is not a flash in the pan. It is currently happening in Denmark, Sweden, Holland, Belgium, Germany, France, Portugal and is already in operation in Italy, Hungary and Austria. In the UK the current rise in popularity of Nigel Farage's Reform Party (not far right, more right of centre) indicates a disillusionment with the centrist, liberal consensus and globalist economics and a move towards right leaning, popularist movements.

  2.  @Jason-fm4my  Just saying what I see. Not saying I approve, just trying to suggest why people like Farage are popular.

  3.  @Intreductor  I was refrring to Chega in Portugal, The PVV in Holland, the DPP in Denmark and the Social Democrats in Sweden. They all have similar nationalist, popularist agendas and they have all become more significant poiltically in their respective countries recently. Just a generalisation but nevertheless a valid observaton?

  5.  @jonlittle5032  I understood what Peter said. My comment was intended to introduce a broader perspective, beyond France and beyond the recent EU elections.

  6.  @carter7944  I was referring to the DPP, not the same as the far right parties' prominance in France but nevertheless rising in popularity with a similar popularist platform.

  7.  @Tilten  Good point. Once the (far) right parties have to compromise and take responsibility for actual policies they tend to become quite ineffective. I know in Sweden there has been new developments with the SD because of this. My point was that even in moderate Sweden the right wingers have a significant presence.
