When ‘Right-thinking’ commenters and the European elite awoke this morning to the prospect that Austria could be the first European country to be led by a populist right leader (since WWII) they were aghast.

In the event Nobert Hofer of the Freedom party narrowly lost his bid to become Austrian President.

But it is still a momentous day and I couldn't be happier.

In Austria, European governments should see a narrowly-averted mirror of their own future.

Look long and hard my friends, because this is coming your way.

The Left can’t stand it but all over Europe and America politicians are on the rise who put their own countries and culture first. But who will put Britain first?

When ‘Right-thinking’ commenters and the European elite awoke this morning to the prospect that Austria could be the first European country to be led by a populist right leader they were aghast.

In the event Nobert Hofer of the Freedom party narrowly lost his bid to become Austrian President.

But it is still a momentous day and I couldn't be happier.

In Austria, European governments should see a narrowly-averted mirror of their own future.


Momentous: ‘Right-thinking’ commenters and the European elite are aghast because The Freedom Party, led by Norbert Hofer (pictured yesterday in Vienna), looks set to win in Austria

Look long and hard my friends, because this is coming your way.

A new populist politics is back in the ascendant, defending national identity and protecting the rights of true nationals from the drain of immigration. And this is just the start of things to come.

Make no mistake: the author of this Europe-wide phenomenon is Merkel.

She has penned a new era in history, in which Europe rejects an open-door policy to immigration which would lead to our women being the target of archaic cultures and religions, and rape being a helpless man's only response to the provocative sight of an unveiled woman.

But this is more than a rejection of European immigration policy.

This is individual nations asserting their right to self-govern. Peoples voting to protect their sense of self and reassert sovereignty.




Austrian Freedom Party supporters celebrate in Vienna yesterday. Their country could be the first one in Europe to be led by the populist right

These nations do not want to be part of some amorphous whole, a blancmange of nonsense led by a German. And they are fighting back in city squares chanting 'never again'.

Hofer says: 'To those in Austria who go to war for Islamic State or rape women, I say to those people: “This is not your home.”'

I have a strong sense many of you would vote for a British leader with precisely these views.

And Hofer is not alone.

The Danish People's Party has 21 per cent of the vote and publicised its policy of removing valuables over the value of £1,045 from immigrants to pay for their welfare. It also placed adverts in Lebanese newspapers warning against migration to Denmark.

The UK, on the other hand, advertises its benefits and accommodates migrants in hotels.

In Finland the populist Right argues that true Finns take priority in social and healthcare spending.


A new populist politics is back in the ascendant, defending national identity and protecting the rights of true nationals from the drain of immigration. Make no mistake: the author of this phenomenon is Angela Merkel

The UK prioritises immigrants for school places and council homes and gives away healthcare for free.

Marine Le Pen's National Front (FN) is the biggest nationalist challenge to Europe's liberal democratic traditions. She has modernised the party and mobilised support in the face of terror attacks.

It suits the Left to throw out insults and put lazy labels on these political parties, seeking to marginalise or discredit them

In Germany, Greece, Italy, Hungary, Switzerland — parties which espouse the same views are also on the rise.

Questioning immigration, the EU and the establishment, while promoting a strong sense of nationalist sentiment, is now entirely ‘salonfaehig’, as German-speakers would say.

Their ugly word for ‘passable in your living room’ — or, as we would say, socially acceptable.

Merkel, for the record, is not salonfaehig in my home.

The Swiss even use controversial black-sheep posters to make their point about immigration.

Liberals call them racist but, frankly, when do they ever stop using that term, so overused to have lost all meaning? If I'm not being called racist, I barely recognise myself.

But it suits the Left to throw out insults and put lazy labels on these political parties, seeking to marginalise or discredit them despite their obvious electoral success and democratic support.

It calls these parties the Far Right, hoping you will close your eyes, picture a skinhead with a beer belly and an England flag tattooed on his forehead, and s******.

But remember, this breed of lazy socialists also mocked Donald Trump, and will continue to do so as he ascends the steps to the White House.

They smirk, cocooned in their London bubble as will no doubt still be listening to the BBC still calling Donald Trump a buffoon even as he descend the stairs from Air Force One.

Meanwhile Americans want him to speak up on their behalf. To be the voice of the people, to Make America Great Again, to halt immigration, protect their cultural identity and reassert their right to look after their own culture first.

It’s no coincidence Hofer and Trump both use the same slogan: America/Austria First!

And these words are being echoed all around Europe. Restrict immigration, self-govern, reassert the right to put your own people first.

And as I look west towards Trump in the White House, east to Hofer in Austria and Le Penn resurgent in France, north towards the Danish People's Party with the toughest immigration rules in Europe, and south to the stronghold of the Swiss People's Party — I see a political compass whose true direction is set on national identity and sovereignty.

This movement is supported by people living in their cultural homeland, working hard, paying taxes, looking for someone, anyone, to speak up for their rights, their country, their future.


It’s no coincidence Hofer and Donald Trump (pictured) both use the same slogan: America/Austria First!

And if Merkel continues the madness of trying to fast-track Turkey into the EU, millions more will join them.

Just as if Britain has the guts to vote to leave the EU, I have no doubt citizens all over Europe will start demanding that they too get a vote.

All over the Western world, multiculturalism is being rejected in favour of national identity. The surge of populist politics of the Right reflects a deeper will of the people to take back power from those who believe we are all equal. We all have rights.

All over the Western world, multiculturalism is being rejected in favour of national identity

We are not. We do not.

If you come to our country and fight for Islamic State, rape our women, and then ask Europe to defend your human rights, this is not your home.

Our NHS, our schools, our local doctors’ surgeries — they are not yours to monopolise either. Our children should come first.
The balance of power is shifting. Raising the spectre of fascism is just lazy labelling

This is not the silencing of humanity, nor the deafening roar of bald men in black boots and bomber jackets waving the Union, fighting their own shadows.

This is the rise of common sense.

This is your voice being heard.

You do realize that making the state more powerful is a leftist measure right?

Not to mention the fact that "my country first" don't have all that good a track record in Europe.
Well, to be fair, that track record is marred by the addition of world domination and genocide to the "my country first" perspective. One can be a National Socialist without being a fascist or nazi. Just like one can be a socialist without being a commie.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I thought when you vomited up your bit of stupidity.

There's a major revolution underway in Europe and America at the moment against the pro-immigration, pro-Muslim, anti-Christian, pro-multiculturalism, pro-EU, arrogant, liberal leftie establishment which has taken over our countries in recent years, turning them into cesspits. The people are saying "Enough is enough." It's good to see.

That track record ain't marred by nothing. WWII was a six-year segment of what amounts to two millennia of "my country first" warfare in Europe. Take it out, make it never happened, and Europe is still drenched in the blood of kids sent to war by the "my country first" types.

What the hell is wrong in saying "my country first?" Since when is it against the law to say that if you come to my country, you are more than welcome to stay - just respect our laws and adapt to our way of life. What you do in your home (as long as it's legal) is your business but you don't impinge on my rights and I won't impinge on yours. I will happily learn about your culture and try (badly) to learn some of your language if you reciprocate and try to learn and participate in mine. If I go to your country, I WANT to learn the language, know the culture and celebrate whatever you celebrate. Why wouldn't I? How is it wrong for me to want to learn things and for those to come to my country and refuse to learn anything about our customs and culture and insist on us adapting to their way of life? I honestly just don't get it. How is this racist, or bigoted or hateful? SOMEBODY, please explain this to me.

Hitler and Mussolini were leftists? Who knew? And here I thought fascism was a right wing principle.

Fascism is anything but right. Socialism and fascism are nearly identical.
Know how you can tell the difference between a socialist and a communist?
The socialist wears an Armani suit.

Here is the EU's contempt of democracy in action.

Have you elected a "far-right", anti-EU party into power in your nation? If so, EU bureaucrats will make sure it is frozen out of EU decision-making...


Norbert Hofer failed in his bid for candidate for Austria's presidency, but he would have been cut out of EU decision-makingRonald Zak/AP

The EU will isolate and use sanctions against any far-right or populist governments that are swept to power or presidential office on the wave of popular anger against migration.

Jean-Claude Juncker, president of the European Commission, made clear at the weekend that Norbert Hofer would have been frozen out of EU decision-making if he had been elected president of Austria. “There is no debate or dialogue with the far-right,” Mr Juncker said.

Under powers given to the commission in 2014, he can trigger a “rule of law mechanism” for countries that depart from democratic norms by putting a government under constitutional supervision. Ultimately, a country can be stripped of voting rights in the EU or have funding blocked.

In a test run for the new EU constitutional powers, the commission has issued unprecedented orders to Poland, instructing the newly elected right-wing government to bow to Polish judges who have struck down laws passed by the parliament.

Mr Hofer had alarmed the EU by threatening to politicise the office of Austrian president by wielding powers, never used before, to trigger national elections at a moment most favourable for the far-right Freedom party (FPO). “You’ll be surprised at all the things that are possible,” he said before the vote. Though he lost narrowly, Austria witnessed the biggest far-right surge in Europe since the Second World War.

What hypocrites! They're doing exactly what they're accusing the "far right" as doing - being tyrants. No tolerance of differing ideas here! No sirree!
