It’s been reported that in the German elections, a far right party has made ‘significant gains’.

In the UK (at least before the scandals) Reform UK seems to have had a significant boost and has even surpassed the right-wing Conservative Party in some polls/predictions.

Even France, one or two years ago, was threatened with a far-right government due to the French far right party gaining a lot of support.

It feels like in the last few years, the far-right has exceeded itself and had a surge in popularity. Is this the case? And if so, wtf is fuelling it?

We can start by the fact that I’ve been alive longer than you have been a country. We could talk about EKRE dragging you back into the Russia sphere. We could talk about your position in comparison to other EU nations. We could talk about your future as NATO gets weaker and Russia gets more aggressive and unchecked? What were we talking about again. I had to google Estonia because honestly I forgot you existed over there.
