Why the far right is surging in Europe | FT Film

The European Parliament has been a coalition of centre-left and centre-right delegates for decades. But elections in June could deliver more far right MEPs than ever before. Their success could influence EU policy on everything from immigration to agriculture and the energy transition. The FT speaks to politicians and voters across the continent to reveal the causes and potential impacts

left means communism and that all humans own everything. So, the orientation of the left means that the rights of islamists and africans are the same as west europeans, so they allow them to come to west europe. In practice, immigration is still popular because Europe is not having new children, so immigration (which is always young people) is needed to keep countries from going bankrupt. It's the same reason the UK has been economically drained since Brexit.

[@notalefty999]

@@Automat2 That is totally disingenuous. The idea that the exercise of democracy means people are getting anything close to a perfect representation of their preferences is obviously nonsense. In the UK, for example, you have essentially two choices if you want the party you vote for to actually govern. In the past 14 years, the electorate has voted for the ostensibly more immigration restrictive party, with a pledge to reduce immigration in their manifestos. They also voted against EU membership for reasons that were substantially grounded in anti immigration sentiment. And yet immigration has soared well beyond even the massive increase we saw under New Labour (who by the way, never said they were going to do such a thing). Similarly, Italians voted for Meloni only for her to utterly betray her stated position on immigration. Putting to one side the fact that democratic choice is hugely constrained, politicians lie egregiously about what they intend to do in terms of immigration. If you actually want a vote on immigration, put it up to referenda across all of Europe. You soon be disabused if you actually believe people want this. It will never happen of course, because the elites know what the answer would be.

Also, can leftists make up their mind? Either third world immigration is a good thing or its a punishment. It cannot be both. Aside from which, the claim you are making is factually wrong. Firstly, whilst I do not approve of interference in the Middle East, it is entirely possible to bomb foreign countries AND enforce your borders. Refusing to turn back dinghies or kick out foreign criminals is a choice and that choice is wholly independent of any decisions made regarding military actions overseas. Secondly, Western nations are being inundated with immigrants irrespective of their complicity in any wars. Thirdly, the immigrants are coming regardless of whether their country is at war, in the aftermath of a war or whether or not those wars which have occurred involve any Western agency. If the Sudanese are killing each other, what the hell does that have to do with the British and why should we allow them to invade our country?

Another simplistic and generalized statement. Countries across the globe, including in North America, South America, Asia, Africa, and Oceania, have also resettled and housed refugees fleeing conflict and persecution in their home countries. As of 2023, Pakistan was hosting over 1.4 million registered refugees, the vast majority of whom were Afghans who have fled decades of conflict in Afghanistan. In comparison, in 2023 Sweden was hosting around 400,000 registered refugees and asylum-seekers, including Afghans, Iraqis, Eritreans, Syrians and Somalians. In 2023, Kenya has taken in about 200.000 Somalians. Sweden has taken in people from more varied countries but overal far less in number of certain groups of people compared to many countries in closer proximity to the refugee's original country. Just stop lying, dude.

Check it for yourself. It's TERRIFYING. If 25% - ONE WHOLE QUARTER - of a native population being replaced in less than 40 years isn't indicative of open borders, then I don't know what is. The EU accepts less migrants now than in 2015, sure, but that's only because the sheer number of migrants coming into the EU in 2015 was ABSURD. AT LEAST 600,000 immigrants entered the UK last year. That is a ridiculous figure for a country with a population of 60 million. That's 1% of the population effectively being replaced every year, year after year. And 600,000 is the most conservative figure. It's estimated there's about 2,000,000 illegal immigrants in the UK right now, but we just don't know because the government can't keep track of them but also refuses to deport them. I'm not anti-immigration. It's just too much, too fast. Every Western European country should be at least 95%, ideally about 98% native. 75% native is just way too low. We're gonna see some serious problems in the UK, Germany and France in the coming years. Several ethnic groups being forced to share the same country is one of the most consistent predictors for war and other violent conflict between groups.

It's simple economics. I'm not for unregulated immigration at all but we need to be realistic about the global world we live in. It's human nature to move, too, no one is truly native to any place if you go back far enough.
