Does this presage a similar wave of anti immigration and anti globalist voting in our upcoming elections? It is an enormous shift in Europe....
Big wins for French far right, Britain's UKIP rock EU elections
(Reuters) - Eurosceptic nationalists scored stunning victories in European Parliament elections in France and Britain on Sunday as critics of the European Union more than doubled their seats in a continent-wide protest vote against austerity and unemployment.
French Prime Minister Manuel Valls called the breakthrough by Marine Le Pen's anti-immigration, anti-euro National Front in one of the EU's founding nations a political "earthquake".

it is not the right wing. It is the nationalist anti-EU anti-everything populist far right.
If around 30% of the vote is represented by the 'far right' then that says more about you and your perspective on the nose-bleed left than it truly says about the right in Europe.
A good deal of the rightwing winners are actually socialists and nationalists, many of them full blown right wing fascists. The National Front of France is anti-Semitic to a degree that allows for self denial, and UKIP is not even anti-Semitic or racist, IMO. But I wouldn't give two shits to save the Golden Dawn and similar anti-Semitic fascist ilk from a bonfire death alive.
But methinks this is the face of the future Europe and why the Brits are likely to leave the EU politically and the French about to become crawling servile to their Teutonic overlords.
I say save the Brits if they want saving, and leave the rest of the European bastards to fry in hell. Never again should American blood be shed for the interests of those antiquated, ignorant, thugs and philistines.
