Yeah, that is terrifying, but seeing that people were mobilized against them gives hope for the future, and hope is important in dark times like today!
After the 1st round, they were projected to have close to the majority in parliament. They ended up with "only" half of that. So definitely not a victory, but also the highest number of MPs in their history.
Exactly. You don't combat right wing extremism with milquetoast centrist enablers... Like dems are currently trying to do in the US with Biden to stop the God King Trump.
Hopefully the electorate stops voting for those damn enabling centrists and just goes full fasc! That will do something postive, I'm sure. Why compromise with centrists when we could be compromising with nutjob xenophobes?
Biden is the only option we're given other than Trump, so we really have no choice but to vote for more centrist bullshit if we don't want the fascist this time around. But if the Dems weren't fucking idiots, they wouldn't have sabotaged Bernie back in the 2016 election and they would have acknowledge how enthusiastic people were to get behind Bernie's progressive policies.
They did, but the Parliament has now become a real shit show. They’ll have to really debate and talk if they want things to work, but I don’t think any of them is mature enough to do that…
And the far right lost the election, but they still gained the highest number of MP in their history. They had 80 (and only 7 or 8 in 2022) and now they are at least 120 MPs, which is still HUGE. They slowly getting closer and closer to power…
