What is behind the rise parties/politicians like...

[Deleted]

The left restricted it after the fact. You know... after people told them enough is enough over and over again.

No, our ministry of home affairs said it was not feasible due to us not having the resources for handling that high rate. It was not because of peoples opinions but because of resources not being infinite.

Without knowing the country we can't look up the policy stance of the political parties involved.

Merkel for example is not left at all. So, it was infact the right who opened the doors.

Same here in Sweden with the alliance coalition.

UKIP are placed on the right in UK politics, as that is where they draw most of their support from, but they also draw from the left as well.

The party is populated by oddbods, who you would try and avoid talking to, but it is very dubious to call them far right.

They are effectively just a one policy party, though they try to pretend they aren't.

Do tell me what did they think before the decision? That they were infinite? Who told them that's not the case? Other representives... the people.

The SGP is our most far rigth wing party(think Cruz), and the got only like 2 seats.

As for Wilders, with his 12 seats? meh...
Not like other parties want to work together with him if he became the biggest party, so probably won't be in the government anyway.

We got another euro-skeptic party that does not want to get rid of one of our oldest amendments(religious freedom), so its not like the anti-EU people have to go with the extremist party.

Because people are sick and tired of neoliberal bullshit.

Liberals are seen as rigth wing in Europa lol

[Dezerte]

Populism and political unrest. And the rest is just typical human behaviorism.

[JohnBrown1917]

Because in some countries, the Left went too far (I.E. Europe). People don't just suddenly start voting for the opposite ideology unless irked by their current one. Thus, the pendulum keeps swinging. Once people are sick of the Right, they'll go back to the Left.

Germany, the U.K and The Netherlands have not had a left-wing goverment in ages though..

They never thought the resources were infinite. They have been the more restrictive part when they have been governing than the right, the right has opened up the restrictions when they have gotten into power. They did that in the 90s after the social democrats restricted it in the late 80s, and they did it again when they got into power 2006 and up until 2014. Now the left has once against restricted it after the right opened it up.

[Aeula]

Because some people are sensible and are slowly realizing that the left's obsession with 'tolerance' is backfiring.

[JohnBrown1917]

Until you give me a "here", I'm talking about Merkel&Co. and their role in pissing off certain populations and the subsequent rise in popularity of right leaning parties in Europe.

But she is rigth-wing...

Merkel is way left relative to the anti-migrant voters.

Yet the netherlands is doing fine.



Not that we have a lefty government... or Germany for that matter.

1997-2010 for the UK, so not that long ago.

Assuming you consider "new labour" to be left.

I doubt anyone ever thought resources were infinite, even if that is a compelling narrative it sounds more like a straw-man. And those other people, they unfortunately never did bring any evidence of what they "predicted" - even a broken clock is right once or twice a day.

[JohnBrown1917]

How exactly is she left-wing?

[Kalis]

Assuming you consider "new labour" to be left.

And why wouldn't I consider them left? They self identified as left wing.

My bad, though the tories had been in power for longer.

[Garnier Fructis]

Anger, fear, a sense of being left out.

For personal reasons, I hold a special hatred for nativism.
