NO! Y’all really got to stop doing this! A far-rightist doesn’t stop being far right just because you realized there is someone further right. Also, they are often not so much “further” right, they are differently far right! BOTH Rees-Mogg AND Tucker are threats to liberal democracy!

An underappreciated fact about far-right populists is that they are terrible at governing, especially in the longer run. Trump is a case in point every single day, but systematic studies shows that this is the case more generally. As this study shows, after 15 years they lower GDP per capita with

A really key point. Where EU-Can is going to land is very unclear, but what's *driving* the discussion is entirely clear. Meanwhile, in the UK, there seems no sense of urgency & to the extent there is any discussion it's stuck in 2016 - which in geo-pol/econ terms is a different era.

A few things (international) commentatoes should remember. Only 2 million people live in Sachsen-Anhalt. Half of Berlin, a tenth of NRW. Around 400k will vote AfD. Even with this strong result, 80% of people living in S-A will not have voted for the AfD. In a state that is a far-right stronghold.

"Dat ze [de VVD] daar voor passen, toont het opportunisme van de liberalen die het uiteindelijk helemaal niet om immigratie gaat, maar om het winnen van stemmen door een xenofobische retoriek." En die stemmen worden gebruikt om een verzorgingsstaat voor de allerrijksten te maken. De Dutch MAGA-clan.

Abstract
Recently, the socio- economic agenda of populist radical right parties (PRRPs) has attracted growing scholarly interest, yet many studies focus specifically on positions on welfare policies. It is often argued that economic issues are of secondary importance to PRRPs, or that their
positions are deliberately blurred to maximize electoral appeal. This article qualifies these assumptions by showing that PRRPs' economic policies are underpinned by a more consistent ideological logic than is commonly acknowledged. Drawing on a longitudinal qualitative
analysis of four established PRRPs in Belgium, France, Italy and the Netherlands, we examine party positions across five economic policy domains. We find that PRRPs combine pro-market commitments with nationalist-protectionist elements. These issue positions are rendered
coherent through a recurring repertoire of interpretative
frames – economic chauvinism, populism and producerism – which operate as higher-level justificatory schemata. These frames provide an enduring discursive structure through which PRRPs reconcile flexibility in
policy content with ideological coherence.

Keywords
Chauvinism, Economic policy, Populism, Populist and Radical Right,
Producerism

We stevenen af op nieuwe verkiezingen waarin uiterst rechts onder aanvoering van de VVD een meerderheid kan halen. Yesilgöz, die PRO nog geen blik waardig gunt, maakt de geesten daarvoor rijp. D66 staat erbij, kijkt ernaar en dreigt de geschiedenis in te gaan als de smeerolie van extreemrechts.
