It's not a swing towards the right. It is a swing towards parties and politicians that are anti-establishment and promise to actually listen to citizens rather than to the elites. While in the article's graphs they highlight the far right, in Spain, Portugal and Greece it is the left that has multiplied their support in recent years. In Italy it is M5S, which is hard to locate in a left-right spectrum. And in the US, it is arguably both sides: Trump has surpassed all expectations from the right, but Sanders has also done so from the left (Sanders would probably be considered center or even center-right by European standards, but he's clearly leftist for the US - and were not for the superdelegates of the democratic party apparatus, he would have decent chances of winning too). The establishment should really exercise self-criticism. I don't know how it feels in the US, but in Europe the system feels really inflexible. The establishment pushes their agenda (e.g. austerity) against the will of a majority of citizens, large demonstrations are totally ignored, referendums are made and the results ignored, mass media are becoming more and more unreliable, etc. A flexible beam will bend under pressure, an inflexible beam will not bend, but will suddenly break when the pressure is enough. I hope the system exercises some flexibility or we may be in for rough times...
