Voters across Europe spent the weekend sending a message to the EU’s political class: a nationalist and populist shift is happening across the continent.
The European Parliamentary election held over the past few days saw the biggest wins for nationalist and populist parties in European Union history.
As the results poured in across Europe, the media spun the news as an ominous “far right” victory throughout the EU.
News outlets made it seem as if fascism had once again reared its ugly head over Europe after eight decades of liberal peace and prosperity.
This couldn’t be further from the truth.

It would be interesting to look at the incomes and living circumstances of the EU bureaucrats. Are there any plumbers, farmers or electricians pontificating in Brussels? I doubt it.

It does not matter what the people want. They will be severely punished by the globalist Marxists for daring to get out of line.

I feel a great unvaveling coming on. It may be painful but it will be worth it. Global government was not meant to be and even America will catch on in time. Sorry, Bill Gates, Barack Obama and John Kerry, but money does not make you smart. Even the little weasel in Canada is feeling the heat.

the social experiment in Europe, to combine the European country's into a facsimile of the United States has failed, miserably, as was to be expected
if we think corruption is prevalent in the United States, Europe, and the various old time European country's knows no other way but to use the corruption method of governing ie: it worked for many century's so why change a good thing

What is this?? The collective's uniform is NOT really one-size-fits-all. There goes all of our Dept. of Education's communist upbringing. They should never have broken up the H.E.W.

So, is message sending time over with yet? Maybe a mass deportation of muslims in a couple of countries would get the ball rolling.

The EU politicos will do anything to prevent admitting its system is an epic failure. Nice try, Klaus, et al.

It was a rejection of Globalism and Green New Deal. In the meantime the drums of War for the Ukraine will lead the European Union towards its dissolution.

I wish the Left would define the terms it uses to disparage conservatives. As I see it, "nationalism" means "self-determination" or "local democratic representative government." "Fascism" means government control of industry, while "Socialism" means government ownerhip of industry. "Right wing" means Thomas Jefferson's ideal, "That governmen governs best which governs least." "Far right might be Libertarian to the nth degree.
Clearly, the Left has no interest in defining the terms of our national debate.
