Rise of right wing populism
I think it is fair to say for those like myself who abhor right wing populism things pretty depressing globally. In last two days we had elections in Argentina and Netherlands where extreme candidates won in both with former being libertarian while latter Islamophobe. In Netherlands have to form coalition so maybe Geert Wilders won't… Continue reading Rise of right wing populism
