You brits really didn’t learn your lesson from Brexit, did you?
Its not a britain problem, its a global problem, afd, reform, trumpists. Right wing propaganda is spreading like wildfire. Free speech has its downsides. Foreign powers can also say whatever they want to your people.
Both Canada and Australia resoundingly rejected Conservatism in federal elections in the last week.
The best defense is education and secularism.
The Netherlands is well-educated and extremely secular, yet it has voted the extreme right PVV as largest party in its last elections, which is now the largest party in government. The extreme right is on the rise pretty much everywhere in the western world, and has been since at least two decades.
And the Conservatives losing in Canada can also be blaimed quite simply on a powerful foreign leader demanding its annexation. Otherwise, they’d likely have won anyway.
That’s not what I mean. It’s Nigel Farrage’s party, and again he was one of the main populists making noise for Brexit, but even after seeing what a catastrophe Brexit is, they keep voting that assist and his party.
