Interesting that Sarah Wagenknecht´s BSW came to 6% on the first try.
Macron dissolved the parliament and new elections are at the end of the month. let’s see what will happen…
Yeah. That much I got.
That reminds me of how Cameron dared the British public to vote for or against leaving the EU and we all know how well that worked out.
“far-right” = includes anyone who resists unlimited third world immigration and believes their nation may be something more than just a multicultural economic zone.

Well my take on them is that they seem to feel entitled to overly interfere in peoples personal lives, don’t have a clue how to run public services and are utterly shite with any kind of fiscal management.
On the subject of immigration all they do is whine and bleat about it but have, thus far, not a single workable solution to solve it.
As I said earlier in the thread, perhaps they need a term or two for people to realise they don’t have anything but soundbites and bluster.

“Far-right” = includes racists, traitors who support foreign enemies like Putin and people who don’t have the slightest idea about the benefits of European integration or the transatlantic alliance. Also includes many who talk about traditional family values while being closet homosexuals.

That may be true but my point still stands. And some people might feel sorry for all the well-meaning people mentioned in my post who are unfairly branded under the umbrella term ‘far-right’.
80%+ of the European electorate are in favour of functioning borders and reducing illegal immigration. That does not make them far-right.

Overall and country results.
Oh, there are workable solutions abundant, it´s getting them implemented without public outcry that is the problem.

Such as?
This is the crux of it. There are apparently many many solutions and yet… (tumbleweed… followed by “oh we couldn’t possibly share the ideas because you wouldn’t like it”.)
Also, the clowns dreaming up these fantasy solutions don’t seem to be able to distinguish between migrants coming over to work in jobs nobody else wants, and refugees/asylum seekers so the waters are muddied before they even start.
Hasn’t seemed to work for the UK!
Right-winger, Robert Jenrick writing in the Torygraph fails to consider the repeatedly demonstrated fact that…

And again we pivot to this irrelevant (to this thread) island off the coast of France.

Yes, I get it but it was a QED point that the UK has had a slowly turning populist government which made immigration its central issue, made a big noise about it, whipped up certain bandwidths of the electorate, came up with some frankly mental “solutions” which cost the tax-payer millions to (potentially) shove off a measly 100 illegals.
Come 4th July they are likely to be annihilated in a GE because it’s made them look like a joke.
It will be interesting to see if the same thing happens down the line to the populists in Europe.
Hungary Orban’s party & allies took a hit with 44% vs the over 50% expected.
Péter Magyar and his Tisza party scored 29.7 percent, taking 7 EU seats vs Orbans 11.
Magyar galvanized voters by railing against corruption and Orbán’s regime. He has vowed to take back the billions in EU funds destined for Hungary that have been frozen by Brussels over rule of law concerns.

Looks like a case of too little, too late!
Apologies, although I don’t think garbage immigration has been a net benefit for the EU either.
Maybe. I prefer though not letting populists in power in the first place. Look how hard it is to roll back the authoritarian shit that PiS has done. Look at the damage Fidesz has done.

I was surprised. After all the various scandals AFD had, I thought they were done. I wonder how it would have turned out without the scandals.
