Also, the result of the EU elections are going to be more far right neo-liberals in their government. These people are wanting to do as Trump preaches, which is disengage with the world except for growing their weapons industry.
When the far right "Me Firsters" have the power to influence EU policy, they are going to move the EU to cut off the deserved funding/reparations/loans/donations to the 'Global South' and restrict use of their tiny NATO Peace Keepers from warring countries their Corporate overlords instigated.
Could Far-Right Electoral Gains Upend EU Foreign Policy?
This week on War & Peace, Olga and Elissa are joined by Crisis Group expert Marta Mucznik and senior policy fellow at ECFR Susi Dennison to talk about the upcoming European Union parliamentary elections, prospects for far-right gains, and the implications for European foreign policy.
It's a challenging situation, a rightful reaction to being ignored. They may become the second-largest voting block. There's conservative and far-right, an important distinction. The unfortunate part is that extremes on either side cause different types of damage. Of course, in the short term, I'm hoping that the election outcome will assist in stopping the war.
Yes, despite the West owing African nations reparations it would most likely be a good thing to get their meddling and corruption out. I'll bet a lot of countries would take that deal.
As I see it there are only nuanced differences in some of these parties. Slight differences but enough to keep them from aligning. That always seems to be the case in any country where large numbers of parties are present. That is true here as well. The only difference is the two parties have all these factions fighting for control, but within the main party itself. In reality there is a large segment of both parties that once elected unite to control the legislative process. That sounds like what will probably happen with SA. This was an interesting dive into the nuts and bolts of the process there.
A difference is in whether they lean West or East, but, agreed, thereafter it's as cloudy as pollution. Like you said, there are internal factions, so it's as if there are double the number of parties.
I wonder if the most appropriate response to propaganda -- when the same news is evident everywhere -- is to realize that big money is behind it and take the opposite stance.

Grim. Thanks for letting us know.

Fight them by being poor :)
I've tried that. It's not much fun.
Yep, it's all I've known.
Ah,that dark truh arises, our political leaders do not need us.
We are simply in the way of the resources we are squatting on.
Maybe we'll get lucky, and ascend.
I doubt it though.
I sure would love to go for my first balloon ride this week, high enough so that I am only able see the beauty of my country.
