Wilders expected to win in NL. Tasty.
To be fair he's a decent listen on Middle East events given his background.
hard to form a government though when you only have 35 seats and no one else likes youWilders expected to win in NL. Tasty.
I think this sums him up rather well
The bizarre cult of Rory Stewart

What’s your take on him?Wilders expected to win in NL. Tasty.
Will they be signing up to brics now Italy's not favourite?What’s your take on him?
He's a ToryWhy is Rory Stewart a wanker
He's not wrong tbf!Oh dear

BarelyHe's a Tory
Absolutely! We really have lurched wildly to the right if an old school reactionary Tory like him is considered as some sort of moderate.Barely
He bucks the trend of Tory surnames accurately describing what they are.He's not wrong tbf!
Feels like the sudden concern about anti-semitism and protection for religious freedom on the rightward fringes of European politics is somewhat undermined when a party that wants to straight up ban Islam wins an election.Interesting election result in Holland
Look at his voting record compared to the image he tries to project

I find it more chilling than interesting, personally.
Ultimately they’ll end up regretting it. Far right parties do not make good government. We’ve seen this all around the world in the last decade from Brazil to the US to Italy. Even in this country, the further the government lurch to the right the worse they’ve became. Even Sunak realises this hence a reshuffle to try and lurch back towards the centre ahead of a GE. He sees the polls and understands that the UK voters have seen through the folly into far right ideology as bollocks. Hating individuals and institutions doesn’t address the cost of living, crumbling schools, stagnating economies, the health of our rivers, the rise in poverty, the state of the NHS, the state of the prisons etc etc etc.Feels like the sudden concern about anti-semitism and protection for religious freedom on the rightward fringes of European politics is somewhat undermined when a party that wants to straight up ban Islam wins an election.

I mean. He’s a Tory. He will vote with the Tories.
“Far more concerning” than the largest party in an EU country vowing to straight up ban a religion from operating? It sounds to me like the train has left the station.It’s worrying but not surprising looking at what’s happening across European elections recently. Cost of living issues for most countries, high immigration, people feeling they’re not being listened to. They were some of the main drivers for Brexit here but those in the Euro are kinda stuck so will go down the right wing populist route by the looks of things…..which is far more concerning
Oh dear

I wonder if we will see any calls for anti-Islamophobia marches today.
I was saying the rise of the far right parties across Europe is far more concerning than Brexit
Wilders has also called for a referendum on leaving the EU. Politicians with a desire to drive out certain ethnic groups from their society certainly see the EU as an obstacle to their goals at the moment. Pretty horrifying that countries in Europe are openly embracing them.I was saying the rise of the far right parties across Europe is far more concerning than Brexit

He has two choices temper his offering and hope others will govern with him or do what the Dublin Shinners did and be largest party but sit out government for a cycle and be favourites to win big next time round.I was saying the rise of the far right parties across Europe is far more concerning than Brexit
I don't know what his stance is but fascism's language is rife in this Govt.
Indeed, but pandering to the rich and powerful by giving them tax breaks doesn't address those things either.Ultimately they’ll end up regretting it. Far right parties do not make good government.

I don't really like the sensationalism I'm about to do, but we have to watch we don't go down that route by extreme nutters infiltrating our mainstream right wing party to too great an extent.We don’t really do fascism here, despite the best efforts of some. Places with PR generally have a more active fringe. Wilders has been around for decades for example.
I think you’re right that the driver for Brexit was the same which was a high profile number of brown people in the media looking scary. Not sure you can claim cozzy livs in 2014.
To be fair to Wilders he has grown his own party rather than infiltrate the PVV.I don't really like the sensationalism I'm about to do, but we have to watch we don't go down that route by extreme nutters infiltrating our mainstream right wing party to too great an extent.
I think it’s spectacularly naive to assume that there’s some kind of inherent ‘Britishness’ that would stop us going down a similar road.I don't really like the sensationalism I'm about to do, but we have to watch we don't go down that route by extreme nutters infiltrating our mainstream right wing party to too great an extent.
Meloni is a huge Sunak fan, which says it all about the current government.We don’t really do fascism here, despite the best efforts of some. Places with PR generally have a more active fringe. Wilders has been around for decades for example.
