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.

    Representatives don’t corrupt on their own. The easiest path to keeping your job as a rep is to do what people want. The capitalists corrupt the representatives with the money to get things tipped their way. I don’t blame the lung cancer, I blame the cigarette for causing it.

      By that logic socialst countries shouldn’t have corrupt officals. Yet past and present states prove the opposite.
