Far Right Surges in European Parliament Elections, Early Data Shows – The New York Times

By Thomas A. Smith

Elections in 27 countries for the European Parliament ended on Sunday with early projections giving far-right parties a strong showing, a result that, if confirmed, would amount to a powerful gauge of voter dissatisfaction and a stinging rebuke for the political mainstream.

The balloting indicated that the prevailing winds had grown decidedly chill for Europe s political establishment. The results are likely to make it harder for the European Parliament to form majorities to pass laws, and would render negotiations over divisive issues even tougher. More broadly, they underscored that the momentum of the far-right forces that have been expanding their challenge to centrists over the past decade had yet to crest.

The extreme, ultra far right, crazy, Nazi, super duper Right Wing Crazies prevail for no reason better than that the leaders in power are trying to dissolve Europe. Could that have anything to do with it? I wonder.
