How Far Is Europe Swinging to the Right?
The &quot;moving to the right&quot; analysis is wrong both in Europa and in the US where claims of Fascism seems to be the primary analysis of Trump.<p>What we are seeing is an increasing number of people seeing no fundamental benefit of globalization or technology who are simply using their democratic voice to say &quot;hey what about us?&quot;<p>These are voters who have been completely ignored by the politicians both in the US and in Europe who have been more busy with pushing technology, globalization, outsourcing and insourcing cheap labour.<p>To confuse this with what we normally consider right-wing is not only getting the analysis wrong but also show why Trump so repeatedly have been underestimated.<p>In Europe the &quot;right wing&quot; parties have repeatedly been doing better than any poll predicted I expect the same thing will happen in the US with Trump.<p>They are not racist or facists. They are just afraid of the change that is hitting them and have no other way of expressing this fear. In Europe and in the US.
