Why beat around the bush? Everyone knows the far right now loves Israel because Israel kills Muslims.
Finland‘s former minister of economic affairs, who in old text messages declared himself a Nazi who dislikes “kike” names (also a serial groomer of teenage girls) is another good example.

Farage’s defence rests on three pillars, each one of which is shaky.
And the fact that both he and ReFuk keep changing the excuse demonstrates their bad faith

Antisemitism allegations against the teenage Farage matter – look at what he went on to do | Jonathan Freedland
Farage has cosied up to US figures who espoused conspiracy theories about Jews. That kind of talk is becoming alarmingly mainstream on the Maga right, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

There are now 2 Leagues, & they won't live peacefully side by side for much longer.
One wants more powers (including of taxation) for northern regions. It is the old guard of the party, such as former Governor of Veneto region Zaia. It has achieved an impressive result in Veneto regional elections

I don't know if it was better, but at least one could have access at a different perspective and way of framing knowledge and setting the debate. Now we have a dominant format (the argument-driven, name-dropping, content-poor article) and not much else.

Well, we spend millions in making one of the safest transportation mode around, metros, marginally safer against fire (not against falling into the track, which is the actual danger). We are too busy doing "paper safety" to actually care about real people getting injured or dying in the real world

Giorgia Meloni as managed to consolidate the conservative block, but she hasn't expanded it beyond the 45-50% of voters it mobilized in the past under various formats. What she has been good at is keeping a more institutional tone while still flirting with the usual themes of right wing politics.
