Most people don't understand that the political landscape has changed radically. It's no longer left versus right, it's globalists versus nationalists. Left versus right is now irrelevant. They can't accept that the parties they've always voted for have betrayed them - the supposedly leftist parties have betrayed the working class and the supposedly conservative parties have betrayed conservative voters. But the media tells them it's still the same old left versus right game.<br /><br />It's encouraging that AfD has made as much progress as it has, and at the same time it's discouraging that they're still well short of the support they need to make an impact. But you could say the same for all the European nationalist parties - they're making surprising progress but they still have a worryingly long way to go.dfordoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306293859869179118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-89860998180181692042016-09-05T22:27:41.032+10:002016-09-05T22:27:41.032+10:00Well, it's true that the population as a whole...Well, it's true that the population as a whole hasn't turned against the globalists. It's an encouraging result, though, isn't it?

It would be interesting to see a breakdown of their support by a - if they're gaining significant support amongst the young then the globalists could be in real trouble in Germany.dfordoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306293859869179118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-5355814417985323552016-09-05T07:17:19.677+10:002016-09-05T07:17:19.677+10:00Looking good:
