Leftist political parties were trounced in European Union elections over the weekend in what National Review calls a political realignment.
Early projections of the EU-election results show that the continent's right-wing parties have made significant advances as voters signal their dissatisfaction with illegal immigration and inflation. Formerly powerful left-wing parties seem to have been routed, while centrists stayed the course.
This antiestablishment sentiment was expressed most strongly in Germany and France, two of the European bloc's most powerful countries.
What is notable is that political parties that fared well stood with European farmers while the E.U.'s green movement and their policies are in retreat. Germany's Green Party, for example, has been pushing the country to embrace so-called renewable energy while shutting down nuclear plants and razing ancient forests, that resulted in de-industrialization was soundly rejected.
Brexit was the wake up call and the sentiment only built with the ongoing Net-Zero efforts to clamp down on methane, which was really a way to shut down farmers. It is abundantly clear that nationalism is on the ascendancy in Europe and patriots are united in retaking their countries from European elites. All it took was for people to experience the effects of the elite's climate policies and they are saying they've had enough loud and clear.
