The establishment is working itself up to banning the party, since they're losing the ability to shut it out of the process democratically, and haven't had the sense to co-opt its reasonable positions to reduce its support. One of the other main parties tried to do that before the last election, showing a slight willingness to put some limits on migration, and the further-left parties went ballistic on them, so they quickly yanked that back.
