Hello Everybody,
Sweden's nationalists (Sweden Democrats) have won their country's
elections, and are now forming a coalition to govern now that the
Swedish PM has resigned. But it is not just Sweden that has had a
surge of nationalists gaining power, ad winning elections -
Hungary Fidesz 49% Jobbik 19%
Austria Freedom Party 26%
Switzerland Swiss People's Party 25.82%
Denmark Danish People's Party 21%
Belgium New Flemish Alliance 20.4%
Estonia Conservative People's Party 17.8%
Finland The Finns 17.7%
Sweden Sweden Democrats 17.6%
Italy The League 17.4%
Spain Vox 15%
France National Rally 13%
Netherlands Freedom Party 13%
Germany Alternative for Germany 12.6%
These are just some, not all, countries in Europe.
And this list is as of May 2019, compiled by BBC.
Recent election results from Spain, France, and Sweden,
and elsewhere are not noted in this list.
The trend is very clear when viewing these results.
Far-right groups in Europe are gaining in power and
influence. Real change is happening now, and those
changes will affect the future of Europe and the world.
Adolf Hitler and his National Socialists did not need
to win a majority of votes in order to take power by
legal means in Germany. All they had to do was to ask
the German people for their vote.
So why should far-right groups change the playbook
that has worked so well for them before?
For Life,
Lee
