Consider a political reality.
The far right is in government in Austria.
Polls suggest (the Alternative for German) is on the verge of becoming Germany’s main opposition party.
Last year, the far-right Front National won its best ever showing in France’s presidential elections.
In Italy, the hard right, which wants to deport Roma and migrants, is in power. The Hungarian government is a hard-right dictatorship dripping in anti-migrant hatred.
Poland’s authoritarian rightwing government menaces democracy.
In Sweden, a party born from the white supremacist movement is scaling record highs in the polls.
But why is this happening, does the 'left' take on any responsibility for this march of the 'Right' across Europe.
