Rightist Parties Surge in Europe

Business Insider reports parties of the right in Europe are doing well across much of the continent.
[It's] a group of European political figures and parties that don't all want to be associated with each other, but all share at least two common tenets: opposition to immigration and skepticism about the European Union. Some even advocate leaving the single currency.
Called out for special attention as gaining support are Sweden's Democrats, Germany's AfD, the Netherlands' Party for Freedom, Austria's Freedom Party, Italy's Northern League, and France's National Front. I believe you could add Britain's UKIP, and Hungary's Fidesz and Jobbik parties, these not mentioned in the article.

Savvy COTTonLINE readers are entirely unsurprised by this outcome. It's exactly what we'd expect to occur in countries overrun by culturally dissimilar refugees among whom a covert minority are terrorists.
