Promising Election Results Throughout Europe

This past week in May 2019, showed a massive victory for Nationalist and Populist movements in various European nations. They voted in European Union (EU) representatives who hold more nationalist interests. Could these new incumbent politicians spell the end for the European Union? Is the “Trump Effect’ going global?

After reviewing each country’s elections independently, we’ll look at comparison to the United States. How does the global community function? Will each country put itself first? Have the voters spoken out against the Globalist agenda of the United Nation’s (UN) sanctioned push for a one world order. Will the people’s voices be heeded? Time will tell.

France

In the last few years since President Emmanuel Macon took office, France’s living conditions have degraded. As he pushed for higher taxes we saw the birth of the “Yellow Vests”. Average French citizens who have awakened to their exhaustion of bureaucratic nonsense that squelched the spirit of the French citizen. From open borders which favored Muslim and non-French migrants over French citizens, to the final straw that broke the citizen’s back with a higher “gas tax”, the people began to revolt.

Paris saw billows of smoke rising from the city streets of a once beautifully beloved city. Forget the fact that the city of lights is being defaced with concrete blocks in order to prohibit people from entering certain areas of the city. In addition to barriers, there are tent shanty towns dotting the cityscapes. The people have expressed apparent dissatisfaction with Macron’s leadership. The people have spoken. Once the election concluded, Le Pen received 23.31 percent of the vote: “The two groups [Macron’s and Le Pen’s] will have the same number of seats in the European Parliament, 23, after Britain’s expected departure from the EU.”

Italy

Italy also saw the numbers of voter support rise for Italian Nationalist Matteo Salvini. He obtained one third of the voter base to claim his victory. The Associated Press states his coalition garnered 28 seats in the EU Parliament, which could shake things up for Italy. “Not only is the League the first party in Italy, but also Marine Le Pen is the first party in France, Nigel Farage is the first party in the UK,” Salvini said. “It is the sign of a Europe that is changing.” Read more of the article here.

Poland

Poland’s ruling Law and Justice (PiS) saw a glaring victory of their Democratic counterpart as Jarosław Kaczyński won a stunning win over his rival with 46.01% of the votes. The European Coalition only took 37.87%. Kaczyński remarks on the win: “Today is a very important day. We have to remember that the decisive battle for the future of our country will take place this autumn and we also have to win — and win by even more than now.”

Hungary

Viktor Orban of Hungary enjoyed a win himself. Orban is Hungary’s nationalist Prime Minister, and a member of the Fidesz party. He received 52% of the vote. According to a May 26, 2019 article in France24 article describing the victory, it was a record turnout on an EU election. Orban wants to “draw closer to right-wing populists like Italy’s Interior Minister Matteo Salvini.”

Great Britain

The UK saw the stepping down of Prime Minister Theresa May. Ultimately, May was not able to lead the Parliament into giving the people what they voted for: Brexit. The people want to be independent of Brussels’ control. May provided a soft Brexit process which did not meet the demands Nigel Farage, leader of the Brexit party, issued previously. The hold up made many Brexiters quite upset that Theresa May capitulated to the demands of the EU rather than hold the line in the interests of the British people.

This lead to Nigel Farage’s Brexit party garnering a major win in the EU election. CNBC reports the Brexit party won 32% of the votes and will place 28 Members of the European Parliament (MEP) in the EU Parliament. This could in fact show a very real possibility that if Brexit is not met by October, the UK could see a very real Prime Minister Farage who will push Brexit indefinitely. Enthused, Farage tweeted about the win:

Never before in British politics has a party just 6 weeks old won a national election.



If Britain does not leave the EU on October 31st, these results will be repeated at a general election.

What Does This Mean for America?

It seems Globalism and Leftism are meeting hiccups in Europe. In so doing, European countries are re-establishing very real national identities that are separate from simply being “European.” Italians are becoming Italians. Hungarians are fighting to be Hungarian. Brits are identifying as Brits. Poles are Poles, and that is that! It is a very real issue as Globalism attempts to erase separate nationalities, cultures, and norms to attempt to meld them into one European identity. This only erases very real cultural differences. A Hungarian is not Italian which is not British nor Polish.

It has been a very direct threat pushing for a single European identity that simply does not exist in these countries. This is on top of the push for open borders and erasing nation states. What does this mean for America? It could open many doors for trade which America could capitalize on, as well as expanding industry and commerce to separate nations. Trade is one of the many realities when partnering with different nationalities. It also could cement for many average blue-blooded patriotic Americans that we are Americans at heart.

While there is no such a thing as an American nationality, there is a philosophical identity issued in our Constitution and the values we face which means if we follow suit with these various Eastern and Western European countries who want to be their own nation, we as Americans do not need to capitulate to anything that opposes our identity as Americans. Especially when Europe saw a very real threat of an encroaching culture that opposes Western values flooding into their countries.

Taking the Right Path

The people of Poland, Italy, Hungary, and the UK are getting sick and tired of being treated like a nothing. They have expressed this in votes. If Europeans continue to awaken to the fact that the Globalist agenda continues to be pressed upon the rights of people, we could see the collapse of the EU as well as nations and cultures re-establishing their once former identities.

America, in turn, is spurring to re-establish what was held as sacred: the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. No politician from Brussels can change that. If we as Americans learn the value of the American culture and fight for it in the voting booth come election season, then we too can vote out those people who would encroach against values we hold dear to our lives – the same way many Europeans have!

Americans are so sick and tired of a Globalist agenda trying to wipe out the American identity, they took a chance on a candidate running on an America First agenda. Seems to be rubbing off well on others, too.
