  1. There's always usually two patterns when it comes to voting habits, cost of living and quality of life, for younger generations, the cost of living of basic things are much more expensive compared to decades ago, this is fuelling the far right, not because of the far right policies, after all, immigration and anti EU views are a sideshow, it's a protest vote because people find life harder than it used to be, and in the case of the younger generation, there's a lot of truth to that, this isn't just a European thing, it's also happening in North American, especially in the US. So the rise of the far right isn't a big deal, but it could be for the far right if they don't fix the concerns that voters have, and they'll have a short window to do it in, we should remember that there is a lot of protest voting going on because a lot of voters are angry at the mainstream parties for not fixing the core issues they have, in other words, the far right might have 1 or 2 elections to fix those core issues, if they don't, they could get wiped out, in other words, political parties across the spectrum really need to start listening to voters or they will continue to vote more recklessly, until eventually, one of them gets into power that does some serious damage. A bit of advice for the far right or any radical parties, if they want to stay in power and be credible, they really do need to soften their policies into a more mainstream mindset, many voters are only listening to them because they are fed up with the mainstream parties and want to teach them a lesson, but most of the population are not radicalised enough to want the policies the far right are offering, hence why so many that get close to power or in power end up toning down there policies to appeal to a wider voting audience, basically, if they want long term credibility, they need to become more mainstream, hence why they are not really a threat, unless the majority of the population becomes radicalised, which we are a long way from that, but if that were to happen, we've got far bigger problems to worry about.
