- The European Parliament has been a coalition of centre-left and centre-right delegates for decades. But elections in June could deliver more far right MEPs than ever before. Their success could influence EU policy on everything from immigration to agriculture and the energy transition. The FT speaks to politicians and voters across the continent to reveal the causes and potential impacts

How about why is Europe leaving the 'far left'?
@@BigSnippcommunism and national socialism here we come!
@@pippip8744 It is disingenous at best. Moderates are never going to tamper with communism. Moreover, socialism has already been executed in the form of the welfare state, so there is nothing new there.
@@editfazekas3854 Meloni, LePen and the "european far right" is a joke.
They have no intention of getting rid of the invaders. Italians got scammed and the French will experience the same scam.
Countries that are farther left like Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland are not leaving the left behind. It's generally the leftist party get coopted by centrist who pretend to be part of the left, but enact deregulation that disrupts the economy, then people go right thinking the left has failed them. It's always the same story.
@@editfazekas3854 Talk about being disingenuous. It's funny to think of a single policy as socialism having "been executed" lol.
It's the immigration without integration.
Have you seen any white European integrating anywhere?
LOL. Far-right don't want integration. This is want centrists want.
Deportation
@@maneshipocrates2264 So you're arguing against mass migration?
Stop the replacement
Why is every movement to curb imigration is far right ?
Everything to the right of center on social issues is now far right while everything anti establishment is now extremist
P.S. How many rapes on women, children and even men! It looks like it's already war to me!
Because oppressing ex colonies and torturing their citizens is exactly what the fascists did.
left means communism and that all humans own everything.
So, the orientation of the left means that the rights of islamists and africans are the same as west europeans, so they allow them to come to west europe.
In practice, immigration is still popular because Europe is not having new children, so immigration (which is always young people) is needed to keep countries from going bankrupt.
It's the same reason the UK has been economically drained since Brexit.
Because in the entire history of europe, everytime they had a major crisis, millions of europeans moved to other continents. Hypocrites.

I am an old guy who has seen a disturbing shift in the perception of “right and left“ and “conservative and liberal“. 50 years ago, defenders of faith, family, and country were considered “mainstream middle of the road“. Now, they are considered “far right“.

Report the channel and the video for slander and misinformation. Stand together strong friend!
I’m still young and even I cannot recognize the Europe of today compared to that of my childhood. We never voted for the crazy level of immigration of the last decade.
Indeed. I'm a Bulgarian and things here aren't that bad in terms of non-White immigration, but I visited Paris and London last year. I'm deeply saddened to report that there's almost nothing European left about those great, formerly European, cities. It looks, feels, even smells, like Africa and the Middle East rolled into one. You might not see a native -- i.e. White! -- French or Englishman for an entire day! It's crazy! Horribly surreal...

Much of it is a result of western foreign policy and military intervention destabilising regions and people being forced to leave, which as you mention, wasn’t voted on.
The vast majority of immigrants have not come from unstabilised parts of the world, or from the very few countries that have been subject to Western military intervention in the last half century. The vast majority are opportunity-driven colonists, trying to replicate their own failed cultures in the progressive and currently culturally suicidal west.

Wanting to protect your culture does not equal "far right".
Well the media is usually far Left, so that's how they see it. "FAR" Right now means the most basic common sense of the 1970s. Also anything practical, or that is actually a potential solution to a problem is "Far Right EXTREMISM".
The means you go about it is though. You guys want to return to a time that doesn't even exist.
@@HenrythePaleoGuy Its not about returning to any particular time. No idea what you're even referring to there.
It's simply that many Europeans have a dislike for mass immigration without proper integration.
That doesn't make someone "far right".
If you want true far right, read the Quran.
@@HenrythePaleoGuy believe me when I say there was a time when in Sweden there was no such thing as a "No Go Zone".

My opinion as a young French voter living in Paris:
I'm tired of seeing rapists take short prison sentences, live in the most taxed country in the world, welcome millions of foreigners so that some of them call me racist because I'm white and Christian, I'm tired of seeing foreign powers threaten my country, I'm tired of hearing this speech "oh don't go to that place, everyone knows that it's dangerous", I'm tired of hearing all the women I know tell me that they are being followed, whistled or touched by the same type of people, or hearing them tell me that they look down, that they change clothes so as not to be subject to reflections or attacks. it bothers me to sometimes be the only white person in the metro, to hear people shouting loudly in their original language, to see Islamic veils in the streets, to hear people say that French culture doesn't exist , that France must grovel to apologize for having colonized countries.
The "far right" is rising since the rest of the politicians are weak and cowardly, the people are waking up.
I also, by chance, have several black friends and Muslim friends who are perfectly integrated, law-abiding and live a Western lifestyle like me. I don't want "people" of the same religions or origins as them to degrade their images, honors and dignity by association effect. It's not about racism, it's about protect our culture as natives from these lands.

Wrong, Europe is not a country, it's a collection of countries with varying ethnic backgrounds influenced by old empires hundreds of years ago. In fact, Bosnia and Albania (both countries in Europe) has a significantly higher muslim population. Demanding a theocratic society is immoral in this day and age, especially with increasing travel and immigration from a multitude of religions which include (but aren't limited to): Hinduism, Sikhism, Shinto, Atheism, and Buddhism from mostly east asian countries. I can understand your concern for an islamic uprising in Europe but fighting fire with fire is not the solution you should look for.

The constituents are not being questioned. It's the parties that seek power by manipulating constituents using fear and deceptive techniques
They hate their voters. That's why they are replacing them.

Exactly!
@marcomercedesn - "Far-right" is usually a term of abuse from virtue-signaling socialist types directed at anyone with whom they disagree and frequently followed up with accusations of being a nazi
They and most left-wing academics also define nazism as far-right although the nazis defined themselves as socialists who despised capitalism, so perhaps we should be re-branded as far-left anti-capitalist swine instead
Even His Holiness the Dalai Lama has stated, "Do not allow Europe to become Islam" "Do not allow Europe to become Africa!" This is not a suggestion it is a warning!
Europe has been changed massively over the last two/three decades.
Nobody voted for it, or was asked their opinion. Worse than that, people were shouted down for voicing any opinion that went against the political forces that encouraged the change for their own ends.
I'm amazed it has taken so long.
What have people been voting for during that time then? Because there had plenty of opportunities at local, regional, national and European elections.
@@Automat2 That is totally disingenuous. The idea that the exercise of democracy means people are getting anything close to a perfect representation of their preferences is obviously nonsense.
In the UK, for example, you have essentially two choices if you want the party you vote for to actually govern. In the past 14 years, the electorate has voted for the ostensibly more immigration restrictive party, with a pledge to reduce immigration in their manifestos. They also voted against EU membership for reasons that were substantially grounded in anti immigration sentiment. And yet immigration has soared well beyond even the massive increase we saw under New Labour (who by the way, never said they were going to do such a thing).
Similarly, Italians voted for Meloni only for her to utterly betray her stated position on immigration.
Putting to one side the fact that democratic choice is hugely constrained, politicians lie egregiously about what they intend to do in terms of immigration.
If you actually want a vote on immigration, put it up to referenda across all of Europe. You soon be disabused if you actually believe people want this. It will never happen of course, because the elites know what the answer would be.
@@notalefty999 Tell your elites not to wage war as that creates refugees and immigrants - the latest being 10 million Ukrainian refugees. You wanted NATO expansion, you got refugees and you have to pay for it. Similarly, Afghans, Syrians, Iraqis came because you invaded their countries. On one side you are brutal; at the same time, you want to show you are humane.
@@johnadam2885 My post was complaining about the elites ignoring the wishes of their electorates, and you admonish me for the actions of elites I clearly do not support and as outlined above, that the citizenry lack the capacity to effectively exert influence over?
Also, can leftists make up their mind? Either third world immigration is a good thing or its a punishment. It cannot be both.
Aside from which, the claim you are making is factually wrong.
Firstly, whilst I do not approve of interference in the Middle East, it is entirely possible to bomb foreign countries AND enforce your borders. Refusing to turn back dinghies or kick out foreign criminals is a choice and that choice is wholly independent of any decisions made regarding military actions overseas.
Secondly, Western nations are being inundated with immigrants irrespective of their complicity in any wars.
Thirdly, the immigrants are coming regardless of whether their country is at war, in the aftermath of a war or whether or not those wars which have occurred involve any Western agency. If the Sudanese are killing each other, what the hell does that have to do with the British and why should we allow them to invade our country?
Nobody voted for what ? I've been voting in all election I can vote and so far I have my issues with national and european politics, but none of my issues are about europe becoming a new 4th reich and haven for fascists.
Far right in Europe is normal middle class values of 1960’s.
So? Normal middle class values of the 1860s were pretty fucked. 1960s were better. Wonder if people in the 1960s were complaining about how the far right of the 1960s "just held middle class values of the 1860s". We move.
The 1960's US middle class was pro-segregation. Are you a fan of segregation?
you mean 1940's
Europe was weak, poor and divided in the 1960s. It was very grim back then compared to today: Constant threat of actual nuclear war (not Putin's empty threats - real threats from both USSR and USA), extreme racism, extreme homophobia, workers rights in general were lacking.
@@mark63424able Europe consists of so many countries , really what countries are you talking about when you say there was extreme racism extreme homophobia ?

@@nzreggae2534 Don't think it's minority yet, only in some impoverished parts of cities. But for decades there has not only been no clear, open debate about mass immigration, but politicians and people sho criticised it were cancelled and verbally attacked.

I used to be center-left. However, recent years made me shift towards right, at least regarding social matters. And I am not alone. I have several “progressive-left” friends turning more and more conservative due to the current trends in Europe.
People both on the left and the right are radicalized by events and issues in their countries. The only difference is that people on the right blame it on immigrants while people on the left blame it on rich people and people in control

Notice the people who want to preserve Europe as recognizably European get labeled as ‘far-right’ when many are to the left of establishment conservative or ‘centrist’ parties on economic and many social questions. Keep in mind The crowd that owns FT loves mass immigration, the more the better.
I've always been left and left used to be birth control to fight poverty, no religious influence, progressive, minimum wages fair pay and freedom of expression, but now it is only about being political correct while I see Europe is taken over by religious conservatives who want to make a segregated society like they have in the middle east. In my city, Amsterdam our mayor even wants to make law enforcement officers wear headscarves because their religion seems to require it. Law enforcement officers are supposed to be neutral, hence the uniform.
I am not happy that the right has to solve this, but the left has become too elitist and too far removed from the citizens. So yes, I have become right-wing, it seems.
But Europe has always been right wing. That is not the left. You’re not a leftist, you’re a liberal. The left is non existent in Europe. Also as an atheist I am for both for separation of religion from the state and religious freedom and I don’t see why they shouldn’t be allowed to wear what they want ?

Another simplistic and generalized statement. Countries across the globe, including in North America, South America, Asia, Africa, and Oceania, have also resettled and housed refugees fleeing conflict and persecution in their home countries.
As of 2023, Pakistan was hosting over 1.4 million registered refugees, the vast majority of whom were Afghans who have fled decades of conflict in Afghanistan. In comparison, in 2023 Sweden was hosting around 400,000 registered refugees and asylum-seekers, including Afghans, Iraqis, Eritreans, Syrians and Somalians. In 2023, Kenya has taken in about 200.000 Somalians.

Because of too much far left too many years causing too much damage.
You should look at UK then
What damage? Your coffee and oil and gas all come from those immigrant countries.
UK has been led by the Conservatives for 14 years, and they have ruined the country
We've been under neoliberal politics for more than 40 years now. What "far-left" policies are you refering to ?
So? You fancy importing Islamic values too?
people act like immigration is the norm. No, this is the backlash to an event of such huge alterations in demography.
Good point ! The narrative is that mass immigration is normal and nothing can be done about it.
The upcoming Euro elections will be perhaps the final chance to
kick out those politicians who have tried to make us swallow that
line. Mass migration CAN be stopped . It's the Will of the People
cost what it may....!!
I wonder how that started? let me give you a hint:
- France in Cameroon
- France in Algeria
- France in Morocco
- France in Chad
- France in Niger
- France in Mali
- France in Tunisia
- France in Ivory Coast.....
I am not even gonna try to talk about the British, Italians and Belgians.
@bsca1956 We don't have to pay for the gullt of our ancestors, not every Europeam country did it, other people did it and nobody is replacing them, it's not only colonialism fault. In any case we must end it.
@@bsca1956 and what about Ireland? Never colonised anyone, yet the streets are full of migrants from the above countries getting the highest welfare cheques in the EU. What did Ireland do to deserve that?
@@Prodrentjet Some countries that have never bothered anybody in recent history have the right to fight immigration, Ireland and Poland, for example.
That I can agree with.
Im just curious, do Europeans have a different concept of what Democracy is than to the U.S?
Just in the beginning part, it was implied that the E.U, and by that extension, Europe as a whole, can't function if the government leans right at all.
Of course, this problem exists because many EU Nations, especially Germany and the Nordic countries have allowed immigration to go ahead unchecked.
Most of the migrants came from war-torn and failed states, which have completely different sets of values, religions and cultures, which makes social integration arduous.
This is bound to stoke negative reactions and hardline responses from the local populace.
There's also a non coherent migration policy, frontier nations in the south end up with most migrants and northern, richer nations get to choose if they want the migrants or not.

I will vote "Far'' right.
Me too. They're right, not looney traitors.
It is not far-right, it is simply RIGHT
I haven’t noticed any “far right “. Anywhere in Europe.
You haven't noticed all the neo-nazis? Obviously you're not paying attention.
Quite. It’s totally driven by uncontrolled immigration and the often (but not totally) associated crime. Europe doesn’t have the religious extremists like the US.
There is no far right so they have invented it and smear people with it
Please have your eyes and ears checked.

French people voted against 2 treaties. What did they do? Sign those treaties. The EU is trying to become a superstate and people reject that
This is the most correct answer for me.I see the EU as undemocratic and unaccountable.

@@user-nz4lj4co1s So the EU ensures we have our savings and pensions being robbed by Italian banksters to keep France and Germany from mass killing eachothers 18-year old boys?

No it is not. They are far right.
@@dbs5212 How is it far right when the one policy to dictate that is migration? Alot of the parties want to improve welfare, the educational system, lower government spending by cutting out alot of the bureaucracy.
How is that far right agendas? Because you deem it so?
No, its common sense.
The people of Europe that have seen and lived with the mass immigration to their countries and can see the results of allowing in people that are mentally stuck in the early middle ages, seen people come that have no intention of integrating into the societies of the countries and expect the host population to change to suit middle eastern ideas, have seen them be given everything for nothing and still demand more, have seen laws that apply to indigenous populations not being applied to the newcomers, have seen millions arrive with no identification and no skills that are of any benefit to the host country, does not make the indigenous population right wing, it is just that normal reasonable people have stood still the fact is that the left has moved drastically to the left and from that position they brand everyone else right wing. It's just a scare tactic to try to take normal peoples eye off of what is happening to their country.
Why do you convince the description in your first few sentences to middle eastern people? They are equally valid for brits that moved to the EU.
When you make competing against the party in power illegal, the problems do not indeed go away.
Everyone they talked to is so out of touch. They don't think open borders is an extremist policy. Probably because they're all rich and it doesn't effect them personally.
For now. In a couple of generations, it'll have dire consequences for their children.
@@tonycooke8545
They don't care. They're anti-natalist.
But where do you see open borders? Do you not see that the EU is a much harder union to migrate to now than in 2015? "Open borders" has never been a reality, much less now
@@simqvisten
The UK, Germany and France were all literally 99.9% native up until the 1950s.
Those same countries were about 98% native up until the 1990s.
Today? They're only 75% native. 25% of the native populations of those countries has been replaced in less than 40 years.
The demographics data is available online if you don't believe me. Check it for yourself. It's TERRIFYING.
If 25% - ONE WHOLE QUARTER - of a native population being replaced in less than 40 years isn't indicative of open borders, then I don't know what is.
The EU accepts less migrants now than in 2015, sure, but that's only because the sheer number of migrants coming into the EU in 2015 was ABSURD.
AT LEAST 600,000 immigrants entered the UK last year. That is a ridiculous figure for a country with a population of 60 million. That's 1% of the population effectively being replaced every year, year after year. And 600,000 is the most conservative figure. It's estimated there's about 2,000,000 illegal immigrants in the UK right now, but we just don't know because the government can't keep track of them but also refuses to deport them.
I'm not anti-immigration. It's just too much, too fast. Every Western European country should be at least 95%, ideally about 98% native. 75% native is just way too low. We're gonna see some serious problems in the UK, Germany and France in the coming years. Several ethnic groups being forced to share the same country is one of the most consistent predictors for war and other violent conflict between groups.
@@Dushmann_ You call it replacement, and I'm not sure that's an accurate term, as if the locals stop existing, they coexist. However, one replacement needed is the young population with western countries staggeringly low birth rates leave us needing immigration to take care of the growing older population. It's simple economics.
I'm not for unregulated immigration at all but we need to be realistic about the global world we live in. It's human nature to move, too, no one is truly native to any place if you go back far enough. I agree though that changes have been intense and I have felt that too, in a negative sense, in Sweden, with the middle eastern influx there. My main point is that the EU is doing a lot already and I don't see how more can be done without crossing some serious lines (morally) and risking our society's sustainability (demographically and economically)
As a voter of the "far right", I'm getting quite a kick out of these people who have lost the plot ages ago wondering why the people won't let them continue their shenanigans in peace. They have no clue.
Want to live disease free isn't far right... Its just right
Its not "far right" but right so far.
Simply calling at the far right displays how bad the financial times has gotten. It only implies that these people on the right don’t think the same as all the cool people on the left.
The framing The Conservative Right as “far right” is meant to villainize and silence them.
The Guardian, the New statesman, the Independent (so called - more like the socialist workers revolutionary party rag) - all of these in the uk along with Londons Evening standard and the Metro , ALl of them are left. All of them loathe the moderated ordinary person.andtry to demonise them. I am so glad the people are rising up and I am also so sorry and worried because its looking very dangerous.
the far left gets called the far left too, this is just how extreme their policies are
@@jseumed I am not denying the existence of extremes, but the positions of the "far" right are not really extreme. Do you really think that Italy is run by the party of Mussolini? It is called "far right"--even Neo-fascist, but it just isn't. Similarly, the "far left" is labelled "progressive." The Financial Times has fallen into this using disparaging labels for those with a different view.
Because of Islamization.
But (((who))) opened the flood gates
Everything common sense: no open borders, no destruction of agriculture, affordable housing and energy is now "fAr RiGhT".
Opposing a federalized Europe that dislikes autonomy and different cultures & protecting borders is "far-right"
What's "Far Right"? Political parties who respond to the majority's demand for safety, law and order, functional immigration, preservation of local culture and value, economic prosperity and progress... Certainly, there are some elements of nationalism amongst the far rights, but it seems that the majority accepts it that because the alternative is just chaotic.
But if course nationalism is super good provided it's against Russia. It's only bad in non-designated countries
"If you want a strong European Union, you can't vote right wing."
*Braincells left the building*
In her left side of the brain, there is nothing right. And in her right side of the brain, there is nothing left.
When they say 'far right,' it's the perspective from where they're standing.
If immigrants came to integrate and contribute I have no issue. It's unfortunate a significant cohort appears to hate us and also remain in their own enclaves. It that is a "Far right" opinion then so be it.

Lack of integration of immigrants, ignoring the cost of living crisis and stagnant wages, incoherent policies between internal agriculture, industrial and ecological policies and external trade deals with Mercosur, Asean, etc, a lot of problems. If the EU doesn't reform - empower the parliament and allow it to draft legislation, more protectionism, more transparency, less bureaucracy - it will lose its legitimacy and become a nonfunctional, weak body like the UN.
So do you want to vote for or against the "far right"? You agree with some "far right" arguments, but they want to leave/weaken EU, so what do you vote?
The European parliament IS completely non functional and weak already. !! The EU is constructed like a house of cards unfortunately. It CANNOT be reformed without collapsing.

Why is it always referred to as "far right" but never the "far left"?
So true. One has to be on guard constantly with the progressives and the liberals for their propagandistic use of terms that they select and/or distort for their ideological ends.
there is no far left in europe. the most left european countries get are center left liberals. but they are still market capitalists. europe itself is a market capitalist project of intergration through markets and labour
...because theyre different terms that refer to groups with different policies?
@@felixarbable _"there is no far left in europe."_
Actually many countries have Communist parties for example. Some small, some bigger. Also any party advocating for socialism in general, would be on the far-left.
@@felixarbable _"but they are still market capitalists. europe itself is a market capitalist project of intergration through markets and labour"_
European countries do have Markets, but not Capitalism per se. Almost every country in the world has a Mixed economy system.
It's already happening here in Portugal with Chega party, I fully support it since its existence. Many of us demand the end of unbriddled immigration that threatens our culture, resources and sense of security, the corruption that the 'usual" parties have been making unpunished etc etc
I live in Portugal too and Chega is a party without any ideology or purpose. Just empty populism in a country with very low immigration (And the immigration that does come is desperately needed with an aging, migrating population)
"Far right" is a cliché used to describe anyone who isn't socialist. But never mind, the words "Loony left" are also axiomatic.
Nobody mentions in this video the fact that even the most advanced integration systems like that of Sweden, have failed miserably and completely and that's everywhere in Europe without exception. These immigration policies should have been more modest the last few decades. Now we are condemned to bounce from far left to far right. We have lost the measure and the sense of balancing policies.
I don't know
maybe because I was in London and Amsterdam last week and in both those cities at least half the people are not even European and it felt as if I was in another country. UK is not in the EU anymore but there is a trend in a lot of Western European nations that immigration is really damaging everything.
What does it even mean, in UK people do not consider themselves European, but from the Isles and the word is called British, not Europeans. They refer to people feom mainland Europe as European so the word you are looking for is white, you were suprised people were not white.
