Change a few names in this article and we have a description of the larger parties in Australia. Look at how they treated/reacted to Pauline Hanson and are now reacting to Palmer and his PUP. The elites here are even going as far as agreeing together to change the senate electoral system because voters don't understand and vote incorrectly.

Such arrogance.

At the last election, as in previous elections, I looked to a number of smaller parties that had at least a pallatable set of policies and put them at the top of the ballot. Similarly I put the real numb-bats and wingnuts at the bottom. Just above them I put Liberal/Labour/Agrarian Socialist. The hard part was deciding what order to put the LLA candidates since in most cases by preference flow one of them would end up with my vote especially in the House of Reps.

Last time I put liberal above labour. After watching the mad monk and his crew I think I made a grave error of judgement even though labour was on the nose and needed a solid hiding.

I lurched so far to the right the other day, I hit my head against a brick wall.

This isn't an article about the Right in Europe.
It's not even about the Right in Britain (no mention of BNP).

Where is any mention of Front National (France), National Democratic Party (Germany), Golden Dawn (Greece), Finns (Finland), Danish People's Party (Denmark), Party for Freedom (The Netherlands), Jobbik (Hungary), Austrian Freedom (Austria), Lega Nord (Italy)?

Some of these lost votes (Nick Griffin is out).
Some doubled their seats.
Some got a quarter of their country's votes!
Where's the analysis?

Why not just call the article "I heart UKIP"?

What Does UKIP Stand For?

Jay of Melbourne:

The video is a description of economic and social libertarianism which is couched in the almost meaningless dog whistle terms "left" and "right". Essentially, libertarianism means free rein for predators and prey alike, which means the prey get thrown under the bus.

UKIP (United Kingdom Independence Party) seeks restoration of the system of government of the UK by governments elected by the people of the UK. Not by Eurocrats whose diktats have flooded the UK with Moslems, predators who use British freedom to demonstrate (with the usual calls for beheadings) their hatred of democracy. Many UKIP people are Islamophobic for the same reason that they are Naziphobic. They are not racist (Islam, like Nazism, is not a race but an extremely authoritarian cult). UKIP got a million votes in the last UK elections - the same number that was enough to return more than 30 Labour or Tory MPs to the Commons - and not a single seat(go figure!).

Their sturdy independent image is however more than somewhat tarnished by their meek acceptance of effective Yank rule over Britain.
