European Far-Right Parties Form Alliance

Recent surveys showed that around 20% of Europeans have a favorable impression of far-right parties such as the BNP (UK, 22%), Flemish Block (Belgium, 19%), Freedom Party (Holland, 18%) and Jobbik (Hungary, 28%). The international coalition that is now being forged include the Hungarian Jobbik, a direct descendant of the Arrow Cross, a staunch supporter of the Nazis during WWII, and the French Front National of Jean-Marie Le Pen, who is openly sympathetic towards Hitler and Fascism, and supports the Vichy-regime of WWII.

The far-right is becoming acceptable again in Europe, and meanwhile established governments throughout the continent fuel their fires by corruption- and declaration scandals, shameless favours to multinationals (Dutch journalists just over a week ago discovered that multinationals like Shell evade a total of  €15 000 000 000 per year in taxes in full knowledge of the government).

Not exactly a good situation.

On the contrary, I think it's a great situation.  They'll group up, they'll decide it's time to "rise up" and then we (the civilised world) will have an excuse to thin the herd again.

Well ... I'm only half kidding.  I don't think the world needs another bigass war, ever.

Look beyond the headline 22% figure for the UK and you'll see that is misleading.

However, I can't be bothered explaining, since you are a foreigner, and I hate them ;)
