    The extreme right gained some seats, but they are very far from winning an election. They actually underperformed expectations and are actively losing ground eg. in France or the NL. Even Orbán’s regime seems to have found a challenger.

    The fight is not over yet, but this election has been very far from a far right win.

      Oh yeah it wasn’t an absolute win, but they did gain a lot more seats and in general even extremist right wing parties are now much more mainstream – look at how eg. “moderate” conservatives are lining up to kiss Meloni’s ring and/or ass, and she’s a literal fucking neofascist from a party that’s descended from the original Fascist Party. And then there’s the clusterfuck we have here in Finland…

      All’s not lost, but it ain’t going that great either.

        Let’s hope - and try to achieve - that this is a shock to action, a wake-up call for “a-political” centrists (actual centrists, not the right-wing sock puppets pretending to be) and those left-of-centre that didn’t take matters too seriously up until now. The fight is on, but it’s far from lost.
