I agree with the PP statement.

Why do you think it’s damaging and dangerous?

Not talked about much, but Europeans aren't as enthusiastic about the Russian sanctions and feeding the war in Ukraine either.

Russia is a valuable trading partner for the EU. Always has been, always will be.

There needs to be a peace deal in Ukraine. It can't continue like this for the next 20+ years.

The peace deal happens when Russia pulls its troops out of another country.

Conservatives lead by 18 over the Liberals. It’s been 658 straight days that the Conservatives have led the Liberals in Abacus Data polling.
If an election were held today, 42% of committed voters would vote Conservatives with the Liberals at 24%, the NDP at 18% and the Greens at 4%. The BQ is at 34% in Quebec.
Since our last survey, the Conservatives are up 1, the Liberals are unchanged, and the NDP is down 1. Since the beginning of the year, we have seen stability in vote intentions with the Conservatives consistently in the low 40s and the Liberals stuck in the low to mid 20s.

Trudeau is sinking in the polls.

This is because Canadian Liberals have gone far off into the deep end.

Totally agree. The liberals in the US have done the same. Insane priorities.

+2
These aren't "far-right" groups - they are just the new center. The left has gone so far left that of course the pendulum is going to swing back in the other direction.

I guess it is universal to blame liberals for the extremism of the far right.

DP. You've got that exactly backwards. As I'm sure you know.

OP, I have family in Europe too and am watching closely.

BREAKING:
French President Emanuel Macron said Sunday he was dissolving the National Assembly and calling a snap legislative election after his party suffered a heavy defeat in elections for the European Parliament.

In an address to the nation from the Elysee presidential palace, Macron said: “I’ve decided to give you back the choice of our parliamentary future through the vote. I am therefore dissolving the National Assembly.” The vote will take place in two rounds on June 30 and July 7, he said.

The move comes as first projected results from France on Sunday put the far-right National Rally party well ahead in the European Union’s parliamentary election, defeating Macron’s pro-European centrists, according to French opinion poll institutes.

OP here. Same. I’m watching this really closely. I don’t think people in the US understand what a big deal this is.

Just a precursor for what will happen in the US in November.

This is what democrats here are loath to understand. They have overplayed their hand with trans rights, abortion all day every day and twice on Sunday and a country being overrun with illegal aliens.

Head on over to the "Why 30-40 year old are Republicans" to see it happening in real time.

Women are concerned about being erased, it especially pronounced and violent in the UK with trans activist and the loss of free speech. Making it a crime to say that one cannot change their sex! Anyone paying attention with Biden's EO that not using someone's made up pronouns is now illegal in the workforce. Completely ruining Title IX by getting rid of sex segregated spaces and protections.

Illegal aliens changing entire cities in a mere 3.5 years. Groceries are still 17-20% high then back in 2020.

But democrats are just tut-tutting us saying it is all in our head you silly girl. Crowing that this is best economy/presidency/no crime period ever!

Similar scenarios are playing out across the pond and people are pissed.

Well said, especially the bolded which perfectly describes the typical DCUM gaslighting liberal.

Precisely this. And it’s happening in the US, too.

Where’s the “over-generalization”? The PP is correct.

Well, it looks like gaslighting liberals will soon be back in power across the pond in the UK--and will win by a huge margin.

What’s truly dangerous is people like yourself who refuse to acknowledge that people have valid complaints about the costs of globalism and mass migration.

The refusal of mainstream politicians to adjust positions in response to this and; and instead just push policies citizens are unhappy with and try to shame and/or scare people into just accepting changes they don’t want is what has allowed people like Trump and others on the far-right to come into power and become relevant.

The right reacts to the left.

This. In just about every political discussion I see, people underestimate how deeply intertwined opposing political factions are. If party X seems like it's too dominated by extremists, it's because politics in general has become dominated by extremists.
