Didn’t Sweden just elect someone far right as well?

Old people. You promise them no more immigrants, no more of that LGBT stuff they can't even comprehend, you remind them of their fascist youth and they will 100% vote for you.

Let's be real, more and more younger people are leaning towards this, and that's why the far right is gaining so much power. Old people are dying and yet votes for the far right are higher than ever. During the French elections I saw a lot of people talking who wouldn't have voted that in the past and who are beginning to find this an acceptable alternative.

Horrible news but She is not far right as media try to portray her…. When She starts to do her PM duties reality will hit her hard and She won’t be able to do all those “ far right “ moves everyone is affraid of….

Right wing not far right…. Problem is that today media call almost every right wing or a little bit more conservative option in Europe far right.

Just to be clear I consider myself center to left but I do have a problem with what is called far right in todays terms

What would you consider warranting the label “far right?”

This is what Italy wants, nothing we can do about it. Just sad because right now is not the time to have a fascist but oh well

Voting for someone for the sole reason they are a woman is so 2016. Can we please realize men, women and everything in between have an equal capability to be right wing assholes? 

No some men still think all women are cute kind little dolls and mothers

This, some guy started at my work this week he's like 21 and he said he used to be a holocoast denier when he was younger and he was really far right when he was 18 in college. I asked why he said he was literally swept up by YouTube and twitch videos, so much toxic right wing culture exists in the social media that young people consume.

This.

if the left is laxist people won’t vote for you. If security is threatened they will vote right wing. If security level is at an all TIME LOW in the country and outside of it, they will vote far right. If other parties want votes they need to be more severe, less laxism about their plans when it comes to security. When u live in a country with attacks left and right, or a teacher being beheaded or changes at school with muslim students wearing a burqa to class even tho there’s a law that forbids any religious signs. Or that imams preach in France at a mosqué to kill french people or jewish people and then the police tries to get them and he escapes. Or when people don’t have enough to make ends meet and unemployment is high. Great mix for islamophobia, rejecting immigrants and wanting a severe plan for security and safety = far right. Why? Cause no other parties has the guts to talk about those problems and no one has the guts to even tackle them and include them in their plan. Huge problem is then people vote a fascist. 
 

parties need to get their **** together or it wont stop.

“Omg this candidate is __” okay cool but idrc… are they gonna be a good/the best  leader?? no?? then we’re not ****ing w them… 

even worse, to celebrate this woman who such a male supremacist is like actually ick. Italy’s society is so sad if a woman essentially had to act like a woman hater to get elected + literally every other trash stance you can think of 

Italy‘s Margaret Thatcher moment… we hate to see it

FR!!!! And I believe that it has to do with the fact, that the generation that lived through WWII is slowly but surely dying. History repeats itself. The people who got to experience the cruel and awful side of politicians who are only in it for nothing else but power and domination wouldn't want something like this ever again. I feel like our system was too stable and safe for people to know how well we're living in comparison to the times when the last world war happened. Not saying all nations had perfect political circumstances but it was safer than it is becoming now and as it was in 1939. It is so sad to see that we as humans and society seem to always have to experience these awful things ourselves before realizing how bad it can be, instead of just trusting the experiences of our ancestors.

Not really. Most young people don't like her. I believe most of them simply didn't vote at all. We don't really have the same white supremacists problem as in America.

Shouldn't we support women? Right or left it's the same for me, I celebrate the fact that Italy never had a female premier, and she may become the first one

Of course we support women, but should not blindly support women
