    And there goes another country to the Alt-right. It’s really disheartening to see a message like this continue to win elections globally.

    I get that people are worried their left and centre left governments have failed them, but why the pull to the opposite extreme?

    That’s like saying you want to put ExxonMobil in charge of combating climate change because Greenpeace hasn’t solved it yet.

      We’ve had like 20 years of right wing government and people responded by going more right.

        That’s somehow worse and also surprising. I thought your previous governments were made of the worker’s party and the Christian centrists. A quick trip to Wikipedia taught me I should stay up to date on politics if I’m going to comment on it.

        So that makes me wonder: Why go further right if people feel the ruling right party let them down?
