The Far Right and the Eurozone Crisis

The far right is essentially this exclusive political outlet for anti-system politics. The hard right can point to policy results which are a bit more concrete than anything the far left has to show for, says Simon Tisdall. In Italy most of the campaign towards the end was purely on cultural issues and miloni spent most of the last two weeks of her campaign talking about an episode of pepper the pig where a lesbian couple was portrayed in rather innocuous terms. It's quite extraordinary because there's no response to this as a sort of impotent response from the centrist parties -  they can't respond to this," he adds.
