It’s been reported that in the German elections, a far right party has made ‘significant gains’.
In the UK (at least before the scandals) Reform UK seems to have had a significant boost and has even surpassed the right-wing Conservative Party in some polls/predictions.
Even France, one or two years ago, was threatened with a far-right government due to the French far right party gaining a lot of support.
It feels like in the last few years, the far-right has exceeded itself and had a surge in popularity. Is this the case? And if so, wtf is fuelling it?
Bruh. Inaction/neutrality helps the oppressor. Far-right is both a distraction from inequality and a tool to promote the interests of the elite by propping them either established success stories, or (alt-right) as alternative voices of genius fighting the corruption of public sector and big governments, even though they benefitted from that more than anyone else.
That is why.
Yea it’s because a growing number of citizens are non political, and the ones that are political don’t do a good job at using their political power to help everyone. Populism rises from the forgotten corners of society.
Here in America, it was NAFTA and a long string of other projects that stripped the wealth in the dignity from the angry MAGA’s.

If neither party represents you perfectly, which it never does, you just vote for the closest.
And you make your opinions clear so that movements and parties potentially rise up to represent those opinions of yours.
Also trying to change the two-party system so that other voices can be heard and an actual decent attempt at democracy would exist, would also go a long way.
