Even as the far-right gains ground with bold and simple stories, much of the political establishment still treats moderation as the only path to victory. Too often, liberal elites and cautious centrists confuse electoral management with real leadership.

We are all tired of hearing the same tune: “the far-right is winning.” Yet, it keeps happening.

Far-right parties are topping polls across Europe’s biggest democracies while already sitting in cabinets and even leading governments in several EU countries and beyond.

    In Europe you don’t have that much campaign signs and people don’t tend to display them on private property. The ads are mostly funded with public money (each party gets a budget, private donation are mostly illegal) so it’s quite limited. People vote on Sunday and no party drives old people to the polls.

    The “ground game” is a very American concept where the elections are way more corrupt.
