The wave of right-wing populism in the world as of late is absolutely disgusting.

I think Pim Fortuyn was the best leader the Netherlands never had-great shame he was assassinated he was better than Wilders. If I were Dutch I'd vote for Baudet.

His plans were just as impssible to achieve as Wilder's. And he wasn't a leader. He was just shouting loud enough that the country could hear him, and the people were scared enough to follow him. That's not leadership, that's oppertunism.
Probably one of the very few old-timers here who hasn't been a regimental leader.

It's a perfectly natural response to the perceived rise of the extreme social and economic left. (So, you)

Maybe if you started using rational thought in response to knee jerk emotional reaction you'd have more success bringing people to your cause, lol.
The rise of right wing populism is due to the rise of the social democratic left, and it's perceived power in society.

In my eyes, the rise of right wing populism is based on xenophobia, bigotry and racism. My response is not really a knee jerk reaction, its literally trump in the US, UKIP and others with Brexit and now other european nations. The central theme seems to be to keep out foreigners...

You can say that it's a response to the left and in some ways that may be true but the more likely case is that some folks became scared of people who look different.

Maybe because Germany hates Germany.

I think it's because of the (mostly) misattributed claims of racism, xenophobia, etc. that has contributed to the rise of the alt-right. Insult and ridicule an ideology for not being what you want it to be for long enough and soon it becomes more extreme, solely because you silence it.
But as we're proving, it's a fairly subjective topic

Just out of question Theodin, who are you hoping to win the conservative leadership race?

I want Harper to raise from the dead and run again :P No honestly I have no clue. I haven't looked into it much, when the race narrows i'll look more closely. Perhaps someone like Michael Chong or Lisa Rait, someone who can grab some of the social vote. While i'm not socially left, I don't think a Conservative can win without being at least socially centre, so as long as whoever wins is socially centre and economically right i'll support them. Meaning i'm not enjoying O'Leary being the favorite, as it's clear he's not a very centrist person. But then again, as I said, i'm not really following it very closely.

Not sure there is still a lot of people eligible to vote here  :D

For France, briefly, it will be interesting. Le Pen (despite multiple judicial affairs) will pass the first round, but i'm not that worried, it will be like in 2002 with her father. What is interesting is there is an explosion of the tradtionnal parties : Socialists are weakeaned and heavily divided, Right is showing unity but it's just for the show and the "tchatcher-like" Fillon candidacy is very fragile. As far I see, there is a strong chance that Macron, liberal independant will pass.
