The left in Europe may have finally overplayed their hand. Between a major immigration crisis from Africa causing upticks in crime and a drain on their social safety net programs and climate policies hitting rural folks hard, the right wing parties have made large inroads while the far left Greens have suffered.
Far-right parties are predicted to win a record number of seats in the European Parliament, a result that, if confirmed, would deliver a stinging rebuke to Brussels’ political mainstream and add uncertainty to Europe’s future direction.
After three days of voting across the European Union’s 27 member states, an exit poll showed that far-right parties were set to win around 150 of the parliament’s 720 seats, which will likely make it harder for mainstream parties to form majorities needed to pass laws.
