A “vast conservative shift is well under way” in Europe according a survey which found voters are rejecting the globalist agenda of Brussels, which they blame for the degradation of their countries.conducted by the Tyson Group on behalf of the EU-US Forum has found that European citizens are growing tired of the high-tax, high-regulation, open borders, and censorious agendas pushed by Brussels and their national governments.
The poll found that a commonly held view on why this has occurred is “excessive taxation”, with 73 per cent of Italians saying they feel overtaxed, followed by Portugal at 69 per cent, 52 per cent in The Netherlands, 51 per cent in Germany, and 44 per cent in France. “EU citizens are struggling financially and blame the high taxes and excessive energy regulations that are being pursued by their home governments and in Brussels. The backlash in Europe, however, is not just limited to the economy. Respondents are also worried about the expansion of government censorship and the inability of their leaders to secure their borders. Our data suggests a vast conservative shift is well under way in some of the largest countries in the European Union.
The pushback against the globalist green agenda has been led in Europe by farmers, who have staged large-scale and disruptive tractor protests from Portugal to Poland. The pro-farmer movement looks to be one of the most successful populist protest campaigns in modern European history, having already played a critical role in establishing one of the most conservative governments in The Netherlands and is likely set to have a large impact on the upcoming EU Parliament elections.
The increasingly censorious situation in Europe was notoriously demonstrated last month when a local socialist district mayor in Brussels ordered police to shut down a National Conservatism conference, arguing that the “far-right” should not be able to voice their opinions in the EU capital.
