the more I think about it from the evidence ------- several European nations moving far right (not traditional right), several moving to the left, the UK moving from conservative to Labour --------

the more I think that immigration if just a proxy for cost of living

my guess is that if cost of living wasn't an issue at all - then, immigration wouldn't get the traction it's got atm

and immigration isn't the cause of things like the power and energy price rises in the UK or France or Germany -------------- it's other factors - war and mismanagement for a start --

and the far right - come in with policies promising hits in both areas - cheaper energy by cutting tax on energy and curbing immigration

what do the electorate think? ----------- they think that it's all immigrants fault for their cost of living pressures -

it's got little or nothing to do with it

most people aren't smart enough to think things through - so they follow the herd and i if the herd is clapping far right - then, they all clap far right -- and say - oh, we'll give them a go - they haven't had a go

uh huh ------------- last time they had a go ------- we had WW2

Expand

yet immigration is the angle chosen by the far right to push their cause. thats my reasoning. dunno if it right, and yes CoL is a major force for dissatisfaction with moderate governance.

populist politics is the real theme. parties saying what will gain traction. La Pen and Moroni both moderated their rhetoric on order to broaden their appeal.

really its all plain rhetoric.
