Polling in all 27 EU member states, combined with modelling of how national parties performed in past European parliament elections, shows radical right parties are on course to finish first in nine countries including Austria, France and Poland. Projected second- or third-place finishes in another nine countries, including Germany, Spain, Portugal and Sweden, could for the first time produce a majority rightwing coalition in the parliament of Christian Democrats, conservatives and radical right MEPs.

The authors called on policymakers to examine the trends that are driving current voting patterns in Europe and to develop clear narratives that address the necessity of a global Europe in an increasingly fraught and dangerous geopolitical climate.

What crisis? I’m having a lot of problems, inflation, rent increases, not getting doctors appointments, slow internet, lack of digitalization, the glooming outlook on climate change, shitty public transportation, my government funding a genocide to name a few of them.

I couldn’t care less about some people coming here from somewhere else. I don’t have any negative consequences of this in my daily life. But all of the above are impacting my quality of life every day. I don’t care what kind of fearmongering bs right wing dipshit politicians are making up to scam people into voting for them. I want the above issues and many others to be addressed.
