How far could the far right go? European elections could shift balance of power in Brussels

What if the far right gets its act together? Europeans are picking a parliament this week, the first since the EU's significance went to the next level with Covid, the war in Ukraine as well as showdowns over Chinese dumping and US tech. Europe matters more than before, yet for the first time in a quarter-century, the status quo is at risk. Why?

Why do people have to be embarrassed to say they don't want immigration?

[gizmo]

A right wing Europe is my dream. Nationalism on a European level.

As a German citizen, I do not care about other stuff. If somebody finally stop allowing misusage of asylum rights, he will get my vote!

[RopekingRopethemall]

I'm voting far right as far right as I can I hate the fact that they turned Europe into a aircraft carrier for refugees and islamits

[MilenaBlazanovic-oqiy]

Greens and leftists got us here in the first place, disgusting what our country have become, and I'm stating this as a former left wing voter for 20 years

[guimaraspc]

Far Right - those who protect their country, culture and way of life.

[Shokkwavez]

Voting right this time, left wing politics caused a huge mess and a housing crisis in my country. Never again.

As an American, ill take this over cnn any day

Why do you say far right if not to create a negative, dark side. Giorgia is not far right she's just loving her country and italian’s autonomy. You people are so dishonest.

Funny how there's all this anxiety about historical roots of right-wing parties, and yet none for the left wingers. Dive a little deeper and you'll find communist and Stalinist origins, so why is that acceptable and not on the other end? Double standards.

[SpanishKnight]

Why are you never worried about the left? I’m a lot more concerned about them.

[ybwwlvj]

This is why such words as far-right have lost all meaning. None of these parties are actually far-right in the old sense of the word, they are purely right of centre.

[dandylion]

So long as the greens are opposed to nuclear, they are utterly ludicrous.

[olssonan]

Listening to this as a Swede, Very interesting, it's exactly the same discussion in Sweden.

[whatnextincomo]

Down with the EU. Down with ridiculous “far-right” labelling.

[MT-ysju]

I have voted Greens and Left for as long as I remember.. 15-20 years ago it made a lot of sense to me but unfortunately, i don't like where the left has taken us. Nowadays I subscribe a lot more to right wing ideology, and not just centre right, but even further to the right of that. A healthy European Parliament is one that has a good balance of political groups on all sides of the spectrum. I believe it's a good thing to have more right and even far right MEPS in parliament this term.

[Mike.Mendes]

The real question is how far can the left go! Stop this nonsense.

[jerrycahill]

The young people want a house and a job..like their parents and grandparents. What politicians will help them get there. Straight talking is vital now to help our society progress. We need politicians with integrity.

[Cyclone]

You better pray Europe goes far right.

People have seen Hamas supporters marching in the streets since the 7/10 massacre. That's why people move to the right.
