    From Wikipedia: "In May 2009, Golden Dawn took part in the European elections, receiving 23,564 votes corresponding to 0.46 percent of the total votes ... In the Greek parliamentary elections of May 2012, the party received 6.97% of the pop

    Until very recently they were a fringe party with microscopic public support. The ongoing Greek financial debacle and resulting terrible economic impact and sometimes violent civil unrest has given them enough of a boost to actually win sea

    Europe responds very poorly to political and economic upheaval, which they seem to undergo near the start of each century. Germany was in shambles after WWI and so fomented the rise of National Socialism (which nearly conquered the world) a
