- 2024 is the biggest electoral year in history, with people heading to the polls in dozens of countries. This is DW’s preview to the most consequential elections of 2024 across Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas - and what they mean for the health and future of democracy. Correspondent Rosie Birchard speaks to DW experts on Taiwan, India, South Africa, Mexico, the EU and the US.
#elections #democracy #voting
Chapters:
00:00 A battle of the system: Democratization once seemed unstoppable - but now authoritarianism is on the rise. Will 2024 be the year democracy gets a vote of confidence, or eats itself alive?
02:08 The world votes: How does democracy work?
03:30 Taiwan: A win for democracy? A split vote in Taiwan won’t ease geopolitical pressure, but the elections themselves are part of the systemic struggle between autocracy and democracy.
05:17 India: Is majority rule enough? Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to secure a third term in office. But amid accusations of discrimination toward minorities, is gaining majority support good enough for good democracy?
11:30 Can South Africa revive its democratic dream? 2024 marks thirty years since the end of the racist apartheid regime in South Africa. Amid falling turnout and voter frustration, can a push to rejuvenate South African democracy work?
15:15 Mexico: Change for good? Mexico is set to get its first woman president in 2024. But amid allegations of backsliding under the outdoing leader, will this change help turn things around?
19:24 Will European democracy vote itself out of office? Hundreds of millions are eligible to vote in EU elections, but with the far right expected to make gains, will the bloc’s democracy be hamstrung by populist interests?
24:25 Will the US resign from democracy’s top job? Donald Trump is expected to make a comeback in the 2024 presidential race. Could a possible return imperil the future of democracy in the US and beyond?
29:35 Will democracy survive? Democracy stands on shaky ground in 2024. Is it still the right system for the challenges of this century?

DW quietly skipped Pakistan because they know it's not a democracy. 🤣🤣
they always skip one communitys peaceful contribution
Also skipped Indonesia which elects this month. Because Islam plays a huge role in both these elections n the left wing media DW doesn’t want to mention it n get itself called Islamophobic! 😅😅 Scrutiny n majoritarianism is only reserved for other religions especially Hindus!
Also skipped El Salvador
They skipped Pakistan because they thought Pakistan was not as hopless as India, despite army's role and all. BJP is a cancer which has spread throughout India, this is why DW decided to call India out lol.
@@Artrader_em8ko indonesia is a pretty insignificant and irrelevant country, and I don't blame them for not covering the election.
India has had 75 years of peaceful power transitions. Just because Modi is loved by a sizeable population doesn’t make it “democratic backsliding”. There’s a right wing wave across the world. It’s no different in India.
True
Nobody said it is a problem that a large part of the population likes him. People were just addressing their concerns that for example journalist that writes critical articels are harrassed by the law enforcment agency or that to many position of power are occupied by modi people.
@@nervnich9991😂😂😂😂 almost entire English media in India is antimodi...where do you get your facts from
Hate for modi turns into hate for Hindus and India
Then you do not understand the politics of India.
The video flew over most commentators heads. Its not about merely choosing the leaders of your choice. It's about choosing leaders who take away your choices.
The most sensible comment. This comment should be pinned. I see most right wingers getting pressed and commenting here, not able to handle criticism of their beloved autocrat leaders. On the other hand, the DW has covered both left and right wing governments taking control of the democracy. But the funny part it has gone over most brains of most of the right wingers. What DW is trying to say is the seperation of power must be maintained by any government, be it right or left. So that people will have the choice to raise their opinios and revolt or disagree with views and policies instead of getting suppressed.
All liberal government take away more rights than none liberal
You mean like all the choices that I currently don't have because the current leaders are taking them away day by day? You are delusional
@@RealEuropeanPatriot I will take you seriously when you balance and evaluate it against project 2025.
Also, I don't know why you think I'm an American
I think many people don't understand that Democracy is a Governmental system that offers a fair amount of freedom to most people. Voting for a party that is too far to the left or right will activate a type of Government that becomes restrictive to people's freedom.
“[The US] is the country in the world that stands for democracy more than anyone”.
LMAO, let’s see what the whole of Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia have to say about that sentence.
Legally USA is a republic and not a democracy, what's the difference? I got no idea, it's probably just semantics.
Yea fair
I say they are right
I am from Argentina and I agree with that statement.
In a nutshell: if you don't elect my way, you are not electing. If democracy results are not what I expected, it is not democracy.
exactly what left and media thinks democracy works 😂. if only one ideology always wins then its not democracy it at all.
😂
Avg indian liberal argument 😹
In a nutshell: if you vote for authoritarian right wing nuts that have no regard for democracy, you are not electing.
If you vote for someone who will literally end democracy, rather, not "if you don't elect my way". That's the point. Sorry it flew over your head.
So, the biggest threat to democracy is democracy. Is that about right?
it's "their democracy" not the democracy everyone that come to understand
when the media and the Left refer to "our democracy," it's not the democracy that everyone understands of the word or system we agreed to live in
No
/thread
They just want you to vote in the correct way. And if you don't, then they must correct the counting.
You nailed it here!
I know Indian constitution in 1956 didn't adopt secularism, it was ammended in emergency by Indira Gandhi in 1976, not in 1947. Please checks the fact.
Ahh yes another brainwashed right wing i would like to remind you all the principals of securlism was from the start in the constitution it was just officially confirmed in 1976 india has always been and will always be Secular no matter how much whether you right wing like it or not

"didnt watch the video and still commenting". So how about watch it then ?
In India's case, the problem here is the opposition is only focused on stripping the BJP and Mr. Modi from the power and they'll do anything for that .
The opposition alliance can't even decide their Candidate for PM, they are fighting over seat sharing .
We have no hopes from the opposition
For a strong democracy, we also need a strong opposition which clearly Congress lacks

Secular word was added to the constitution in 1977 during emergency with out much debate. The Deutsche Wllle India Editor is wrong on facts. India is secular because Hindus are in majority, not because it's written in its constitution by a dictator Indira Gandhi during Emergency.
Lol Modi bhakts talking about dictatorship is like china talking about democracy😂😂
Bhakt should know that they don't need to defend Modi wherever they find a criticism. Chill out ,everything has different sides
For your kind information, India was secular since its birth, Nehru tried to establish secular values in the government since his first day in the prime minister's office. The secularism was just officially declared by Indira Gandhi. Before that, India did not have any state religion and hence was secular. The Supreme Court has also said this in a verdict. But yes, it is true that India is secular because Hindus are in majority.
@@mr.ganguly2624 well said
Democracy means people choosing their leaders. Democracy doesn’t mean left wing staying in power forever!! For left, a democracy is only valid if left stays in power even if they are ignoring what the people want!
If leader of my choice isnt elected, then the democracy is in danger.
Unless if it’s narendra modi 🙊🙈🙉🤡
@@kaisankamal BJP never cried about losing. They never cried about democracy in danger. Anyways, how come you are asking for democracy when your Dalla called it Haram?

@@saptarshisengupta8235 But did it not face genocide - More than 3000 people died, thousands of families were driven out into neighbouring Assam, women belonging to non TMC were raped and butchered. So BJP crying there when TMC killed off BJP workers and supporters was genuine cry for help.
@@krishnaats7141 You are missing the whole point.The main point of a democracy is to have strong opposition even if you love bjp you should support for a strong opposition otherwise bjp will have no incentive.
If missing a point was a sport we would be gold medalist ☹️
6:40 It's not "unprecedented" at all. Two other Prime Ministers (Nehru and Indira Gandhi) served three terms.
If you count India's time as a Dominion of the UK, then Nehru served four terms as Prime Minister. The whole section on India is very poorly researched.
Democracy is, was, and will always be tested like never before… Because the price of freedom is eternal vigilance.
best quote i ever read.
Did you know that everything you believe is false? How long will you be deceived?
10:13-10:16 Western journalists say that "Western governments have given freedom to the Prime Minister of India???" This reflects the colonial mentality of western people. We do not need any freedom from the West for our internal or foreign policy. This is a strong India and is regaining its leading position on global platforms, Western governments have understood this and the sooner Western people understand this, the better it will be for them.
I think they will never accept
@@joexavier4070 If they do not do so then time will force them to accept and it will be a very painful process.
Well, it could well be that the western has not anymore the power to give or take freedom, but India is as chained as others to the new emergent powers. Let's say, they are China and Russia (in a minor role). But they are spearheading the new wave of colonization.
Wait... yes, India has the "freedom" to mutually annihilate with Pakistan with their nuclear weapons... which I will not classify as freedom at all.
I will conclude in a more serious tone. Depending on what you think freedom is, you can have freedom. However, what you think is freedom is only a nationalistic illusion.
Thanks to India, Democracy will survive and thrive!
"This makes elections more than a popularity contest".... if only the voters would be smart enough to realize the difference
If there is no justice there cannot exists democracy. If evil is allowed to prosper it will eventually seek to enshrine itself.
Is this channel independent?? No
I think its controlled by germen govt.
DW is not a state media, DW is part of the German media union which is affiliated with other media, It's clear that even though I'm not a German person who is anti-immigrant, I hope the Afd wins next year's election with the most votes
Democracy means people choosing their leaders. Democracy doesn’t mean left wing staying in power forever!! For left, a democracy is only valid if left stays in power even if they are ignoring what the people want!
Its literally paid for by the german people and it represents their political interests so half half it represents the centre left spectrum like most of the german people and yes the AfD is big but it doesn’t have more than 30% so it does represent most of the germans interests
@@minalumathe9072 sino wahabi leftist lobby
The DW labels the entire Right, the world over as being a threat to Democracy, and call themselves a news organization 😂😂
All right wing political ideologies are just different degrees of fascism, so yes, they all should be viewed as antithetical to democracy.
Pilar of democracy is unbiased journalism.... Conclusion- DW itself is threat to democracy 😅
Well to be fair, a lot on the right are a threat to democracy.
Not the entire right. But Trumps version of the GOP is definitely a threat.
@@anotherelvisthat’s not how they report it. They use the word far right to anyone right of center
Many of the main democracies show severe democratic erosions.
Choose left - democracy wins
Choose right - democracy losses
Not in the case of Mexico. The left in Mexico is the one who´s populist and outdated
I believe that this video addressed both the left and right wings abusing democracy and using their democratically elected powers to make the nation they rule less democratic. I think you may be cherry picking what you are listening to? Because if you listened to the whole video you would have understood that thus channel was addressing both sides of the story. Ignorance is not a good trait.
@@jamespowell5608 "If Donald Trump is elected again it is very likely that he will destroy the United States as we know it."
In Latin America the opposite is true....so I guess it all comes down to If our countries fit Western interests or not
@@BramZtmthat's another part of this problem. America has done an amazing job fooling the world into thinking their the good guys while stomping everything south of them into dust. Even the people who made this video fell for it. 15:30 is a prime example. The way they worded it is complete bs.
So if the majority votes for a leader that you don't like, democracy is at stake?
Yes that's right.
sometimes people dont want democracy so they will vote in democratic elections to put into power people who will get rid of democracy
Electoral system is rigged lol😂
Germans left are in fear because paganism is increasing
yes could be if elections are not free and fair and rigged
So basically if people elect a government that doesn't fit the narrative “the democracy is in danger”… isn't that the point of democracy, that people choose what they want (even if it means a change of system)?
The point of democracy is that they CONTINUE to be able to have power. So if the current population votes in favour of fascism, the issue is that they are depriving the opposition AND future generations of the power to influence the government. Fascism and populist authoritarianism only establish themselves through the desire of the masses, that doesn't make them democratic systems though.
@@wyoming9000 The moment that democracy dictate the options for the people is the moment that democracy die. Authoritarianism works in both ways and that is the wonderful of democracy “vox populi”
Not system, regime.
@@teblack2 democracy that allows for the deprivation of the right to meaningfully engage with the democratic process is unjust. There ought to be failsafes to ensure that all people have the right to influence the decisions of the state no matter what the majority may say, as a majority of persons deciding to forfeit their right to engage in the democratic process does not justify that right being stripped from persons who did not wish for that. Not to mention the fact that in a fascist regime or dictatorship, term limits are among the first to go and so, unlike in a democracy, the masses cannot revoke their endorsement for a particular person or party
west dont like if majorty is united 😂😂😂
ever since I was a child, over 20 years ago.
I remember hearing and learning about the concept of "voting for the lesser of 2 evils"
so how did that work for ya?

@@Willy_Tepesso true. but people prefer to buy into the words of people who don't care about them. so it's a bit moot isn't it.
"Western governments are prepared to give India quite a bit of freedom" the colonial mindset never dies
Don't you think it's odd these reporters accused people of consuming bias media when they just gave the most selectively edited and bias opinion piece masquerading as journalism I've ever seen?
Well said. Thank you.
The left's biggest problem is the Jupiter-sized hole in their own perspective. She even called Biden and Trump "two old white men". I'm surprised DW published this joke of a piece.

Democracy means people choosing their leaders. Democracy doesn’t mean left wing staying in power forever!! For left, a democracy is only valid if left stays in power even if they are ignoring what the people want!

A good sign that democracy is dying is that DW news is asking "is gaining majority support enough for a democracy". Thats literally the definition of democracy!
Exactly which is why Americans should remove the electoral college
Also the section of how can we exclude certain parties from participating to defend democracy was rather anti democratic. Sounds like something emperor Palpatine would come up with.
and we have a constitution... and nobody has breached it lol
Well. It depends. In Russia Putin shouldn't have been able to be president more than 2 terms.. and now he changed everything and installed himself in power for life. Having 1-2 terms is essential for Democracy so you don't end up in dictatorships. And Putin's gimmik is trending in Hungary and other countries.
Right wing: poverty for the people and glory to the elites
In a democracy they make us speak, but they do what they want and it is convenient for them. The difference with a dictatorship is that this one does not allow us to speak.
Democracy does not mean freedom. Its all about money. The more money you have, the more freedom you have.

Javier, I don´t know what kind of "critics" you consult but one of Mexico´s biggest issues in every election has been that every new president would never follow up on what was done or started in the previous government, that´s because the so called previous "democratic" governments in Mexico were too selfish to really work for Mexicans. Continuation is something that has never been done before. The INE (the electoral watchdog in Mexico) was already weak and corrupt, and a HUGE loss of resources so it had to be re-organized, something, again, that hasn´t been done in Mexico before.

With PM Modi in India, I love that he has given the youth something to look forward to, to cherish their own culture, and that he has been targeting multidimensional poverty (albeit slowly). But I hate that people here don't care much of the declining independence of the accountability institutions (RTI, Lokpal, etc), the law enforcement agencies (CBI, ED) and BJP's general frustration with Parliament procedures. And I also hate that Congress didn't do things properly that people are ready to give BJP a completely free hand.
The way I see, an idealistic way forward could be when BJP respects all good things it has done, but also the important institutions that make India the largest democracy.

Exactly, the right wing ideology is traditional and unique to every nation and it appears as a protective mechanism against external forces. Everything is portrayed as a threat to democracy if it uses traditional values
@@BruhImAGirl BJP is fooling the people across India. These rowdies where a kesari shawl round their neck and portray as Hindus. They are using religion as a shield for their crimes. All media channels are finished and captured and have become unofficial mouthpieces of the bjp.
Democracy is in danger because there is no free Media, Democracy is in danger because opposition is stifled by ED accusations, Democracy is in danger because minorities dont have representation in ruling party.... Its not that hard to understand!
Humanity has degenerated so terribly that democracy is hard to sustain in many nations now. Very dark days are surely ahead.
The problem is that a same government keeps on ruling the country for a long period which creates less competition and more corruption
Corrections: the Original constitution did not sate the word SECULAR, it was added by Congress indira Gandhi
Yes but that does not mean. Before that India was a Hindu state or not a secular
So u don't secular. The meaning of secular has been misunderstood. It is not non religion or anti religion it is just separation of religion from government.
These fools are fooling everyone portraying as Hindus. They are just doing showoff for politics.
BTW our constitution always said India is a secular country and would have religious freedom. Secular was just added to the preamble 😂. It was always there in the other articles 🙏🙏😂😂.
Indian Constitution is secular, in its spirit. Indira gandhi did not add the word to the constitution she added it to the PREAMBLE.
@@user-ds9lm4tx5zwhat does hindu state mean? It is hindu today, as it was 70 years ago. It's a hindu majority and hence hindu state. We don't have religion based laws, we never had even during native monarchies, even manusmriti which is called hindu rule book by west wasn't followed. Don't compare sharia to hindu laws. Nepal was hindu state until 2008, what rights were not given to minorities there?
@@shubhramishra332 word was added to the preamble not to the Constitution. Sir, please care to explain, what does that even mean?
Wrong map shown alert . Shame on DW
That shows their credibility and biaseness towards India ... We should put ban on these channels from reporting in India unless they show the correct map of our Country...👍👍👍
When they say "democracy", they're not talking about yours
11:10 is not that they see a bunch of hypocrites, it is that we ARE a bunch of hypocrites.
Lots of misinformation here. Good attempt though
Bad attempt
Something you didn't like?
It is almost all misinformation. They talk about populism as if it grew out of nowhere. When it is a backlash against the social disruption that "the liberals" themselves have caused.
@@_ata_3all video is about not liking the choices people made in the democratic and legal elections.
@@Deveriell Try harder. The video is about people choosing undemocratic or autocratic leaders that get done with democracy.
Are western states really democracies, or actually plutocracies?
Fair question
I think we all know the answer to that question.
Democracy means people choosing their leaders. Democracy doesn’t mean left wing staying in power forever!! For left, a democracy is only valid if left stays in power even if they are ignoring what the people want!
skipped Pakistani elections and also skipped Indonesia which elects this month. Because Islam plays a huge role in both these elections n the left wing media DW doesn’t want to mention it n get itself called Islamophobic! 😅😅 Scrutiny n majoritarianism word is only reserved for other religions especially Hindus!
@@Artrader_em8ko he asked about western countries but you again brought Islam in this 🤦♂️
DW calling others „biased“ must be a new contribution to political satire. It’s like watching a Monty Python sketch.
World geopolitics changed a lot and almost every country is opting the nationalist,centre right, conservative to led the country like in case of Argentina, India because developing nations are trying to protect their interest but these trend is arising in developed nations too like Italy,finaland , USA (trump) . These shows that people are becoming more protective, inward looking and want to led a secure life intime of uncertainty
So is minorities rights should be safe?
You are also saying that india is not a democracy anymore right.
See that la sphere for it's unaesthetic and way too big ruining the country
The video's Indian journalist falsely claimed that India embraced secular democracy post-independence. In 1976, 30 years later, "secular" and "socialist" were amended to the Constitution without public input. People in India advocate for removing these words, with the government reportedly taking steps towards their removal.
Lol people in India don't care about secular word.
Only people like having problems.
Indians care about jobs and food.
India has always been pluralistic country not secular. Secularism is forced upon us that's why we want to remove it.
That's why you are a problem for secularism and democracy. These are required baselines for democracy.
I feel very happy that I belong to India where democracy has been an integral part of our nation since independence. This year also, we will elect a strong government in a free and fair election. General elections have always been fair in India. As of minorities, their rights are very safe and they also get equal votes. Minorities are largest receivers of government aid. But DW can't just say these things out loud.
North korea is also a democracy 😂😂. Check the official name. It is Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
Very sad to see people like u are living in their made-up world. Democracy is not only about elections , its about individual freedom and most important freedom to oppose freely. Modi is also destroying free and fair elections , such as in the case of Chandigarh mayoral poles.
It has not been an integral part since independence
News anchor - save democracy ❌ save hypocrites (according to Europe )
Fact that Indonesia election this February, is not count in this news, is something indeed.
Democracy should respect majority choice without name calling such as far right or far left. People should define their destiny and not IMF who lives somewhere far away from the suffering citizenry!
What the IMF has to do with this? 😂
Islam is a quite good majority so yeah? ! 👁👁
It's not name calling when it's calling things what they are. Far left and far right are inherently non democratic. Which is more than just doing away with voting. Democracy also requires rule of law, institutions thereof, and rights for minorities. Democracy still has to color withing the lines or else it's not democracy anymore.
Democracy is about people, not leaders. We, as a part of animal kingdom, always search for leaders instead of intellectual development which leads to logic and rational rather than emotional choice.
So are not supposed to seek evolution from our primitive inner being?
@@Brunin22bh That is still up to the people to decide.
😅
Utilitarianism?
"This is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause."
Idiocracy is a real thing.
I live in arunachal pradesh (india) and yes our core democratic rules are getting attack .we can speak but with punishment of calling anti india , get criminal cases etc.
'They are expected to choose between the same two old white men as last time'😂😂 love u DW
While we live in quite depressing times, these are also interesting moments of history....
Crises certainly are interesting
Old Chinese curse - "I hope you live in interesting times".
Life is always depressing..
Interest is entirely subjective. Atrocities against mankind are not. Through great sacrifices and efforts, international standards have been established to determine what abuses to humanity are considered unacceptable. The western "democracies" presented as protagonists at risk here, have been the prime violators of said standards, and they are now failing to control the narrative to claim otherwise. The perspective of loss is an illusion, these powers are overdue for collapse, and most of mankind will benefit from their fall. DW really demonstrated their U.S. lapdog status here, and have entirely relinquished what little journalistic credibility they had.
There is nothing interesting about dictatorship.
Main issue is that our selected politicians have failed to serve people, in the west all has become so unaffordable, almost everyone's struggling to make a living, how do you want democracy to survive if people has lost faith?
True. Specially left governments that supposedly should reduce inequalities have shown to being either too inept to do it or not really willing.
@@_ata_3 because the new left is full of privileged “lefties” 😂
Try DD über ales , maybe this would be better , buddy?!
Look what people in dictatorships have. The people voting for trump here in the US have never lived in a dictatorship and I don’t really believe they know what they’re getting ready to unleash.
Dictatorship doesn't solve them.
Judiciary in india is under pressure, you said, how? Could you please explain!
Judges that are appointed by colligium system are not being appointed their files have been delated in appointed these are the judges who have given judgements that were against bjp in their state government just search on this topic
So if Democracy turns to Right Wing then it is not a Democracy anymore? ? LOGIC LEFT THE CHANNEL!!😂😂😂
Such a flawed take on the world. Consult better experts DW
🙏
they only have incompetent poeple like the whole german Media ( pure spredding of missinformation)
Pakistan isn't so much a Country with a military and an army as an Army and a Military with a country.
They forgot about Indonesia, well I do not blame DW since it only became truly democratic in 1998, however it is quite weird they forgot about the 3rd largest democracy.
Its not a democracy 😅
where's Indonesia election??? 🤔
Like Germany having cozy relationship with pure democracy eg: Pakistan 😂

Better than most of the alternatives.
@@subcitizen2012 yah for clown🤡
democracy is also a right to vote for far right or far left not only for liberal centric parties. The current EU government is being voted out as people are not more convinced by their ideas as they are so far far away from reality
depends. you can also have democracy with laws preventing parties that ought to destroy democracy like what the pizs tried in poland, or orban does in hungary,... or erdogan does in turkey, or vucic in serbia... fico in slowakia and so on...
so you can actually shut down a specific direction for self protection.

@@Daxter250Orban is a legally and democratically elected prime minister of Hungary, stopping his supporters from voting for him would've been fascist.
If DW’s team loses a football game, the headline would be “why football is a dying sport”
Brazil, one of the largest economies and democracies in the world, almost had a coup in the past year (2023). Things were very explicit and I'm surprised there is no content in DW news about it.
A democracy is a marketplace of idea's.
It doesn't get weaker, if once side is unable to sell its ideas to the electorate.
Or even explain those ideas in language that is understandable to the voters.
Interfering with a free and fair marketplace is exactly what weakens democracy. Voter suppression, insurrection, intimidation, foreign interference.
Ideas are fair game, but anti-democratic methods are not.
Very nicely articulated!
The idea that democracies don't get weaker is a pretty convenient justification for mainstreaming fascism.
Democracy has ran its course for this cycle - and there’s no doubt the world goes through cycles.
@@joeythelipz Except the last time the world fell prey to authoritarian regimes, it spawned a war, multiple genocides, tens of millions of deaths, and the implosion of said regimes. All in the span of roughly a decade.

In Germany you have to pay for the state owned media
You mean tax money? Don't all national broadcaster get tax money?
Isn't that the case everywhere? We don't have state media, only national / public media, but we pay for them with taxes, how else?
We don't pay for the state owned media in India.
@@MrPrince750 Who finances them then?
18,36 Euro per apartment per month. So if you live alone or 5 people in one apartment/house, you have to pay 18,36 Euros per month.
10:08 see the arrogance of the person. Who are western governments that are giving permission to India to live in peace? This is colonial hangover.
Colonial version of putting puppets in countries sort of democracy is over. With the advent of internet and technology, people are informed now and will vote for those who take care of their interests.
El Salvador is the only reason I still believe in democracy.
A right wing party in Europe is not automatically a threat to democracy. It is part of the democratic process to have an opposition to the current migration policy or the lack of thereof. Just because you don’t like the Liga, AfD or le pen doesn’t mean they are not the expression of the democratic will.
The truth these government are just working for the American they never care about their own people
Best example is Ukraine
I understand where you're coming from completely. There just comes a point whether these parties on BOTH sides of the political compass are acting truly in the best interest of the people for the long term which is far more important than just the short term. E.g. would you rather short term unsustainable growth which would positively impact people for a small amount time or would you rather a list of policies that enact sustainable long term growth that would impact people positively for the long run? The answer is obvious, just apparently not to voters (once again on both sides) who only have short term interests or who are misinformed. The democratic system needs to be reformed.
