Its not the "far right versus the far left anymore" its "Sanity, morals and dignity versus the radical far left extremists".

Europe is having serious immigration issues. The next Swedish elections are going to be interesting

It should not be seen as fear. This is a blessing for Europe. He stood up when cowards in power cowered.

How interesting that the typical Dutch, American, Argentinian (name your country) voter is suddenly 'far right'. Do you think it is possible that it is not the people that have changed but instead it is the labels?

[trevorsummerfield]

👍yes finally we are starting to get our voice back well done Holland and Denmark and Ireland.

[tehboonkiat]

I can't understand why Islamic nations disallowed any Christianity things and churches

But Christian nations allowed Muslims doing anything they want

What's wrong with the man protecting his country and it's culture. You have seen what mass immigration has done to the UK
