| Huh. Interesting. This will most likely get overshadowed by the Brazilian elections but still is a interesting shift in Europe. More neoliberalist & conservative politicians seem to join and cooperate with far right elements. At least these far right extremists are divided mitigating the damage they'd do...

Correction. I meant to say "more neo liberterians and conservatives (as in voters & politicians in general) seem to join far right elements"
Point being: Centrism is falling out of favour. Probably because some centrist voters are embracing more radical beliefs that were more stigmatized before.

So far I knew "Centrism" only as a submarine for neoliberal politics: Old wine in new bottles.
Isn't Emanuel Macron a "Centrist"? We'll see what happens after his anti-social reform policy. I would bet it'll strengten the left a bit but in then end it'll bring the far right in power. Like neoliberal policy always did and will do.

| In the recent elections for the Latvian Parliament the neoliberal-conservative government lost dramatically to rising far-right populist parties. So rightwinger parties still dominate the parliament but became divided and more extreme. The social Democrats remained at around 20% and became the strongest party, but they are blamed for beeing "pro Russian" by the other parties (and western media).
