So nationalism’s window of opportunity in Austria is closed for the time being. Norbert Hofer has failed by the narrowest margin in his bid to become president of Austria. It was the bravest of attempts. But yet again the anti-white, anti-nation Establishment has succeeded in pulling enough votes together to beat off the challenger. Nationalism awaits its breakthrough in the West.

The spotlight now shifts to Britain and the struggle – nationalist as well as patriotic - for sovereign nationhood, democratic right, the ability to make our own laws, and to control our own borders, all of which is at stake one month from now in the June 23rd referendum on membership of the European Union.

Here, too, the Establishment, in the form of Remain, is calling-in every favour and using every governing-party trick it possibly can, every conceivable negative argument, however overblown and improbable, to terrify the voters over the economic and security consequences of Leaving. We’ve had Treasury talk of runs on the pound if we leave, as well as run-away inflation, and a year-long recession with a million job cuts. We’ve had talk of being locked out of European markets for a decade, of more terrorism on our soil, even of a new world war. We’ve had Obama making threats, the EU Commission president making threats, the IMF wagging its corrupt finger. We’ve had the Confederation of British Industry, the British Chamber of Commerce, corporate CEOs by the hundred, charities, the arts, the unions, the National Health Service, the environmentalists ... you name it, every one of them has proved only too keen to lecture the British public on how to vote. It’s amazing what self-interest can do.

Remain, of course, is only about protecting its own programme of internationalism, and the wealth and position that provides. But the bulk of the electorate appears to be by no means engaged or interested enough to understand that. Over the last three weeks or so the polling companies have found consistently for the efficacy of Project Fear. There are significant differences between the results they obtain by telephone polling and on-line polling, the former showing anything up to an 18% lead for Remain (albeit taken from a London poll), and the latter generally a lead of about 5%. Tonight the Telegraph is wittering on about a collapse in the vote for Leave.

Leave, certainly, has proven unable to get its message across - in no small measure because the Tory Establishment operation which won the official campaign designation is (a) reactive and chaotic in its campaigning methods, (b) institutionally hostile to Nigel Farage and UKIP, and (c) won’t give more than a cursory coverage of immigration, which is the principal issue in the public mind and the greatest weakness of the Remainers. It would rather lose the referendum than see UKIP take credit for victory. It is a classic case of putting party before country.

So what will happen on June 23rd? Well, the last national election, on May 12th 2015, demonstrated that the polling companies do not necessarily know how to model the British electorate. I’ve been reading the threads at Anthony Wells blog, UK Polling Report, and it is astonishing to me how little support for Leave is expressed therein, in contrast to the newspaper page-polls and threads which show support for Leave over Remain at about 60/40 on the left-leaning papers and up to 80-20 on the right-leaning ones. Yet at Wells’ blog one encounters the soft-left/liberal urban intelligentsia mouthing its presumptions with perfect self-confidence. They all seem to be constitutionally incapable of valuing what the people value. Ask them what they value above sovereign nationhood, democracy and freedom, and they won’t answer, because they haven’t thought about it before and they don’t know. But these are the people who are telling us what we think. I am wondering whether they are remotely capable of understanding who and what the Leave voter is, and why he or she has such a passion for change (ie, because of people like them).

We’ll find out who is right, anyway, in one month. My money is still on Leave, but then I am a stubborn soul, not to be shifted. I just hope and believe that we are all of that mind.
