To be fair that whole office seems to produce and attract people who are anti basic human rights and authoritarian in general, regardless of party or even country.
We had more of that here in Germany maybe 10 years ago, the people wouldn't claim we are that small but the closely related argument that we are already doing more than the US and China and they are so much larger than us. Today there is more denial but also more of that "we are for everything that is against what the Greens want" attitude.
In a proper democracy some of these tribes wouldn't exist because all voters would be educated and have proper information about the state of the world and would vote based on what they think is the correct way forward, not based on irrational fears.
Voters who view immigration as the biggest crisis mostly back rightwing parties such as the National Rally in France or Germany’s Alternative für Deutschland (AfD); those who prioritise the climate tend to support green or leftist parties such as Spain’s Socialists or Poland’s Left.
This seems like a misrepresentation. It is not as if the followers of right-wing parties see the climate crisis as the smaller problem, they usually outright deny its existence and want to sabotage any attempts to limit its impact by actively favouring fossil fuels and other technologies harmful for the climate.
Warum ist der Link mit einem Parameter versehen der die Sprache auf italienisch stellt? Why does the link have a parameter that sets the language to Italian?
In those situations you should maybe look at the UK and all the extra expenses they had when they tried to duplicate everything the EU did for them with their own agencies.
“Growing bureaucratic burdens and rising costs over the last 10 years have built up an immense frustration that is now being aired,”
If anything plays into the hands of the far right it is the German media which fails to remind the farmers that anything that has been building up that long is actually the fault of the parties who were in power for most of those 10 years and the years before those. The very same parties who are now forcing the current governments hand and whose populists are parroting the talking points of the right-wing parties
By the end of this decade, Rejoin will be a very mainstream position among British politicians in the way it already is with British voters.
Still, that means it is probably not going to happen until the last years of the following decade at the earliest and that is if a significant effort is made to reduce the gap on standards and regulations introduced in the last few years.
Honestly, just give me one time for everything world-wide and then have - gasp - people get up at different times. It would make things so much easier.
I really can't wait for this trend of "There is this technology just around the corner that will allow us to not change anything major about the status quo" predictions to die. We are very late to this attempt to prevent climate change from fucking us over completely. We need technologies that are mature and on the market now with some infrastructure already built, nothing that is still in pre-production stages will be the dominant form of travel/energy production or anything else in our society that requires major infrastructure within the 10-15 years we have to change our society for the better.
