You are right that people are fed up with the classic center parties. But this does not explain why the angry people in Austria vote for the far right FPÖ instead of the Green party.
The hatred for immigrants/muslims/other minorities is crucial. That's what people are voting for. If they were truly sceptic about globalisation or outsourcing of labour, they would vote green.
- ThomPete 10y agoIt's not a hatred it's a skepticism towards what it will do to their country. If anything they are national conservatives and their jobs and lives are those mostly effected by immigration. And no green and skepticism towards globalization is only skin deep. They don't like pollution and they don't like large corporations who destroy the earth. But thats not what the "right-wing" voters are worried about. They are worried about jobs. Jobs that the green party wants to destroy by adding taxes to the factories they work in. So your analysis is simply wrong. Nothing in the green movement is antiglobal.
