Key factors often cited include:
• Immigration and border security concerns
• Economic uncertainty and cost-of-living pressures
• Energy policy debates
• Dissatisfaction with established political parties
• National identity and sovereignty issues
Why does “The Greens” get its own thing, that’s party names not political positions
Close enough, welcome back 1920
As usual liberals will continue to push the far right numbers up by being complete morons, and their voting base will continue to migrate to left-wing parties. Just ask Labour how they’ve been bleeding votes.
Unfortunately that isn’t enough to stop the far right tide.
Edit: the libcope below demonstrates the reason why Kamala and Starmer lost and why liberals will keep losing in the future. By the way, the whole Democratic Party political machine worked to destroy Mamdani’s primary because he was “too leftist”.
Tbf, the far right here in Norway is still to the left of the republicans in the US
Compared to what?
The left needs to figure out immigration. It’s as simple as that.
Most people don’t have an issue with a lot of the left’s policies, but immigration is going to be a much bigger issue than many people want to admit. And that is going to drive people to the right, regardless if they agree with their other policies.
Gee I wonder what’s the reason, could it be the open borders and de facto unrestricted immigration policy?
Nah of course not, being pro regulated immigration and checks and balances is evil!!!
Regular reminder that vladgrinch is a bot
Europeans will probably be more right wing than Americans one day. Ethnicity is much more closely tied to national identity.
Not excusing the US, but I find it a bit hypocritical for European leaders accusing the US for electing Trump, and turning our backs when they’re also electing far-right politicians as well. This isn’t just an American problem. It’s a worldwide problem.
Big disclaimer: Opinion polls. Not the first time opinion polls said something but when it came to the actual elections things where very different or not as one-sided.
They should include Denmark as an outlier. We are getting more left as time goes on, because the right just keeps fumbling the bag strategically.
In this comment section you can find redditors of all walks of life going “After Hitler, our turn!” and arguing about how their party is doing it the right away, and everyone else is opposing fascism wrong, and there’s no need to set differences aside. Just as their forefathers before them 80 years ago. Heartwarming, isn’t it?
The most conservative party in Norway is not “far right” by international standards. More liberal than the Republican Party by a country mile.
I wonder why

Wonder why 😂
What unfettered migration from culturally distinct areas does
Putin is very pleased with you.
braindead comment section theres not a single source just made up numbers
People don’t want doctors and engineers.
Conservative europe would be considered left-leaning by american standards
“If reasonable people won’t police your borders, unreasonable people will.” – Jimmy Carr
Not to doubt the info given, but this is 8 out of like 48 countries
They’re fatigued
Finally, it’s about time
Being right wing is a “dominant trait” in that if you agree with the left wing on three things and disagree with them on one, you probably think that one thing is more important.
Define far right
The only difference with the us is the political system. The parliamentary system is very protective from crazy governments
I wonder why
Mass migration and conflict of cultures and religions does that…
Speaks for Meloni. She seems to offer a right wing option, thats able to work within the system and thus keeps the people feom opting far right options.
But wait – recognizing this means that everyone can’t pile on and shame the Americans! Oh I guess you can if it makes you feel better…🙄 Be ready to be painted with the same brush no matter how left leaning you personally are.
It happens when the leadership is tone deaf and pretending everything is fine. After a decade of conservative austerity, it gets back to government spending and immigrants. The true rarity is a decade of far left government, they usually implode because nobody agrees after victory.
There is a great article by Idris Kahoon in the Atlantic today about Britain and it’s general turn. It’s rather timely. My sister in law is visiting from London, and a neighbor she was introduced to asked her about UK immigration and the hubub around it. She said she didn’t know, and then bitched about it after he left, declaring he must get all info from Fox News. That is why leadership is caught flat footed by these shifts, they don’t believe anything they do is wrong and if someone has a complaint, it’s them who are wrong…
Hmmm I wonder why they are becoming more right wing 🤔i cant put my finger on it.
Right-Wing Germany? I guess even the worst hangover ends.
Why isn’t Ireland included? It’s leaning more left.
I wonder what the cause of all this is, hmmmmm
Right is usually more individualistic and left usually means sacrifice for the group.
In bad times when everyone struggles, sacrifice for others stings alot more.
Good
I just got a warning and my post removed for quoting Christian Lüth, former AfD press Officer…
From what I can tell this is from some Instagram account what’s the source of the data?
Tired of wokeism?
Wonder why
Rise of fascism…
