So apparently the Nation Front led by Marine Pen has been doing very well in municipal politics in France. Despite getting rid of the anti-semitism in the party, it's still very xenophobic and ultra right wing. Scary how some of these parties are doing pretty well in countries like France although it also shows you how the two traditional parties in france have failed to combat high unemployment and low economic growth...

Worryingly, right wing parties seem to be gaining ground across Europe right now.

We're seeing some of the more obscure parties gain more favour here too, mostly in the form of the United Kingdom Independance Party or UKIP, who want us out of the EU. Some are predicting that they will come out on top in our next European elections, ironically.

They're a set of half assed bigots IMO. :P

Yeah :P

I think a lot of is simply the idea that the main parties aren't good enough and people are turning to right wing politics simply because of anger towards the establishment. But the idea that some of these parties can do a better job is silly. NF for example hasn't done a good job when it's held mayorships before.

UKIP is pretty bad too I heard.

FN was founded by a Holocaust denier. UKIP on the other hand is pro-Zionist. Their general approach toward race and racism in their respective countries is totally different...

UKIP aren't that bad. They, mostly, disagree with more powers going from here to Brussels. For example, there was a chap here called Abu Hamza. He was convicted on charges of encouraging racial hatred an d terrorism. Yet EU human rights law would not let us deport him, despite the threat he posed to British people. For some reason, people equate UKIP with the BNP. Not the same at all.

But with largely left wing governments running Europe and failing to improve economic issues, one can hardly be surprised that people are leaning to the right side of the spectrum

^ Actually I think that that the victory of the right in Europe has already taken place, except for a few countries that like France had a right wing party leading the government.

France has always had a strong conservative, traditionalist and religious sector just like it had a strong marxist and socialist sector. So this is hardly surprising. That's why Same-Sex marriage was such a controversial theme in France, not to say that it wasn't in other countries.

I believe the Netherlands has bounced back and force between more conservative governments and liberal ones. Hmm, I disagree with the notion that the right has already won. In general, Europe is more right wing than it was before but given the reforms in some of these countries their economies are improving. The Eurozone is currently undergoing mild growth I believe.

I'm glad I live in America. Where Republican candidates only sound like a good choice when Democrats talk about gun control. And Republicans shoot themselves in the foot (rhetorically, and politically) whenever they start talking about social issues.

Both parties are the same, just different color ties. I wish for a viable third party. I wish politics and money didn't go so hand in hand.

I think multiple parties are better than 1 or 2. But I'm not sure if the proportional system is better because you tend to get more extreme parties.

Canada has 4 parties, which is an oddity in first past the post but I like that a lot.

We have plenty of parties, but only 2 that realistically could be elected as president.

It's local (municipal) elections. Those tend to exaggerate the electoral power of marginal or extremist parties. It's a very consistent recurring pattern in European democracies.

France may seem liberal as the mother of revolution and such but in the countryside and smaller towns it's pretty conservative. And always when the economy fails radicals rise their heads.

Yeah. Overall though many parts of Europe resent immigration.

It's like the Mexicans in America xD

Eh. Every country tends to not do well with relatively poorer immigrants. The Dutch have never liked the Poles for some reason. I know my Dutch grandmother would discuss how they were far more willing to join up with the Nazis than the Dutch :P

Lol, sorry, I edited my post, so now yours looks strange :P

But it's true in America and everywhere. Always a fear of another "different" culture taking over and changing them.

Could you bring back the original part to your edited post? :P

Some Poles actually helped Germans in tracking down Jews but that's not a popular topic of discussion in Poland.
