Europe has made it's own bed and now it has to lie in it.

Why is the far right rising on the old continent? Is it because:

A: everybody is stupid B: people realize that the mainstream media has been feeding them propaganda for the last 30 years and decided that they want change.

You can't keep ignoring a part of the population and then claim that they are not voting properly. At some point some kind of reckoning is inevitable.



Options A and B are definitely not the reason why far right is on the rise in my opinion. It boils down to more basic things, like a healthy economy, immigration, health care, rising cost of living, and various country specific issues.
