We’re speedrunning the collapse of civilization. And people are only getting dumber. Don’t worry, it’s all gonna be over soon.
Young voters did this, ironically enough, according to BBC World News. Young people struggling to get jobs after graduation think that right wing parties will fix that.
So as older generations are trying not to hand-off a burning planet to the young, the young are signing up for a burning planet under some delusion that right wingers will get them jobs. Schools have apparently failed to teach kids that the jobs they get under conservative governance are shit jobs -- lousy pay and lousy benefits.
The Nazi Party’s popularity increased in the early 1930s partly because of its pledge to do what no other political party had been able to accomplish: pull Germany out of the Great Depression and put Germans back to work.

Everyone complaining about the right wing people should take another look at the +40 to 102 non aligned seats.
Those votes went to parties exploring interesting new directions instead of 1) evil or 2) boring old stuff.
Are the non-aligned a "party"that would rather not be named (on the right wing of things) or are they actually non aligned and would be better represented as being in the middle of this chart?
phew, green dosen't seem to be losing the most
In percentage yes they are

I don't know about EU politics but how are conservatives reformists? (I should mention that I am honestly asking)
Along the lines of "Reform the EU to strengthen national authority"
Comedic answer: In the same way, “Republicans” are standing for "State's Rights" instead of the rights of the Federal Republic: By name only. Real answer: It's all around the idea that to keep the EU “in check” and nation states sovereign (which is their main deal, aside from 'controlled immigration' as they call their specific flavor of Xenophobia), the EU needs to be reformed into a more powerless organization basically.
