NYTimes - BREAKING NEWS - Sunday, June 9, 2024 2:41 PM ET
Far-right parties are surging in the European Parliament elections, a strong sign of voter dissatisfaction, early data shows. Voters were expected to deliver major gains to anti-immigrant, nationalist parties, challenging leaders in #Germany and #France.

My take on this trend is this: voters, dissatisfied with the status quo, see the far right as the most likely to dismantle the system that oppresses them (yes, I know they’re wrong about that). They also fear a wave of immigration will overwhelm their culture and job markets. The left needs to do a lot better job of educating, organizing and mobilizing to counter this trend. Much work remains to be done to convince voters that “the left” can be trusted to bring about the substantial societal and economic changes voters desire. #politics #EuropeanElections #EuropeanUnion
