It’s pretty depressing how predictable this all was. The right were clever enough to take an anti war stance from the start while the left predictably shat the bed by aligning with the libs. Now that everyone is sick of the war and their standard of living collapsing, the right is seen by many as being the only principled alternative to the libs while the left has largely discredited itself. What’s worse is that anti immigration and fiscal responsibility rhetoric is playing very well with the public.
I expect to see liberal governments to keep falling across Europe, and right wingers will feed off each other and keep gaining momentum in the process. We can already see AfD rapidly growing in Germany and Le Pen in France. There are a few outliers like Slovakia that will go left, but I expect the general trend will unfortunately be hard right.
like in the 1930s. People tired of economic hardships look for alternative parties, and since the left ones have been repressed by socialdemocrats and conservatives, the fascists are the only visible alternative.
