Surge may not be the right word, groundswell is more applicable.
Le Pen got mighty close, AFD made huge gains and, well, Austria, Hungary, Poland and now CZ have right wing or right leaning Governments. And that is just on the continent, I shouldn't even have to mention Britain or the USA, those are done deals.
Questionable, actually. I know that the western press is touting Babis as a Trump like populist but here in CZ nobody is really sure what his true platform is. While he has made some Euroskeptic comments in the past he didn't run on a Czexit platform and hardly mentioned his views on invaders.
The guy who the western press mosts quotes about Babis being a Trump clone (Jiri Pehe) may not be correct in his assumptions (I have had differences of opinion with Jiri in the past, even if he is a nice guy) so our fingers are crossed. Maybe Babis was just hiding his power level but in CZ I can't imagine why anybody would do that, the people here are based as fuck.
