There is no chance of the pro immigration Liberals siding with the Swedish Democrats, they might be prepared to join a leftish Government to keep them out. No need for the further right parties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) Think the problem is that the former Communists (Left party) also tend to be systematically excluded from holding any real power by parties of the centre right like the Liberals, so with the two extremes holding about a quarter of the vote combined, the possible coalitions for a stable government are difficult to put together. Maybe they will wind up like Germany with the traditional major parties of the left and right having to form some sort of grand coalition.

Jambo: First Blood Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 On 10/09/2018 at 12:16, Detournement said: The issue in Hungary and Poland is emigration. Huge numbers of their population have left to find work abroad. 90s shiock therapy completely ruined their economies. The Polish economy is doing really well now and that emigration is actually being reversed to a decent extent with many Poles coming home. Joining the EU, NATO and becoming a capitalist liberal democracy has been brilliant for Poland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tories officially and publically supporting an avowed anti-Semite. I’m sure that the BBC, Sky, Guardian, Independent, etc. will have that as headline news for the next six weeks. I’m sure the various Jewish organisations will all be issuing strongly worded statements of condemnation. Then again, maybe not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Anti-Semitism is fine as long as you support Israel wholeheartedly which many of the far right do as these ethnostate they’re building is a model for them to follow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banana Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 It's not bad as far as recognising some problems on the 'left' (perhaps more accurately the psychotic 'Progressive' movements), but it sadly still woefully mischaracterises what and who it thinks is the 'Right' and even 'Alt-right', where it came from, and so forth. Unless that's also satire and I'm whooshing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
