Another important observation. Chega say housing should be for the 'portuguese' and immigration should be stopped. As someone who works in construction, the vast majority of workers are 'non-white' from Africa, Brazil and increasingly from India. That's an uncomfortable truth for the far-right here.

It's clear here in Portugal that the lack of housing and affordable housing has definitely fuelled discontent.
I recently watched this excellent short from @johnharris1969.bsky.social and so much resonates.
Governments all across europe need to build social housing.

He is 100% right. Shockingly bad politicians. All because voters only had a choice between these vacuous morons and the even worse ones on the other side of the aisle. Britain desperately needs electoral reform. www.jandehn.com/post/a-very-...
We really need to talk about the British electoral system
The British electoral system allows parties to focus on rivals, not issues. Fundamental challenges are therefore neglected.

The Tory/LD coalition govt. was from 2010-2015.
When MPs voted in 2011, on whether to hold an #EURef, The #LibDems overwhelmingly (98%) voted AGAINST this.
Surprisingly, 100% of The Green Party of England & Wales voted for The Tories' #EUref plans.
