Satisfaction with theatrical yawning. We have seen this movie before. In 2016, a group of Brexit and Donald Trump witnessed the first American popular victory sensor in the UK. I was rejected. The association with Trump was not useful. Now the film contains a complement to Britain as a possible spiritual colleague of the weak enemy that is being attacked by the newly prosperous international right.
There is nothing new in the international political. From the official comments to the most famous networks of globalization and new liberalism, there have always been gatherings seeking to export their view of the world. Trump's strategic Steve Bannon was dreaming of a global movement. National GovernorateAn Ethnic Ethnic Staff with strong relationships with Viktor Orbán from Hungary, worked to extend its influence in the United Kingdom.
Britain is also unused for external attacks – although Britain's exit from the European Union in recent years has sparked the munitions from both Europe and the White House.
The European Union countries are exposed, especially since Germany also faces fire from the American popular right – Elon Musk in particular. But the UK has always seen itself in a separate category: in Angeloster, economically liberalism and has a “special relationship” with America.
However, the new attacks focus on British culture and institutions. US Vice President JD Vance Joips This work has turned the United Kingdom into an “Islamic state”. Javier Miley, The President of Argentina, made lies that the right -wing right -wing activist Tommy Robinson told Davos delegates that “while we are talking in the United Kingdom, citizens are imprisoned to expose horrific crimes committed by Muslim immigrants.” Musk attacks are well documented and widely jointly hostile on parts of the American right. The ministers themselves calm the fact that Trump himself has refrained (so far) to join the insecure attacks. But although there are reasons to take it seriously.
The first is that the UK floundering. Sir Care Starmer is not popular. His new government faces both directions, which increases taxes and regulation with the declaration of growth its basic task. Britain appears to seize (as in a lot of Anglica, where Canada and Australia are likely to turn to the right this year).
Second, and perhaps most importantly, this new province is not primarily an economic movement. Certainly, technical billionaires want to undermine an organizational opponent in Brussels, but the popular economy of Maga. Its leaders are not troubled if this leads to non -coherent policies designed at the national level.
The distinguished advantage of movement – as evident from focusing on Islam – is cultural nationalism. Immigration is the tip of this spear. What unites the various groups on the right is a central argument The “Christian Jew” Western values The interior is threatened by cultural and progressive pluralism. It is afraid of immigrants to enhance policies to enhance birth rates, the basic hypothesis is that the West must act to save its culture.
Allied with this is the argument that the same liberals also tend to economic policy against ordinary people, through a deep country that does not work very well. As European economies stutter, these cultural grievances are accelerated by podcasts and social media.
There is another major difference: removing pollution from Trump. This time, international conservatives have the main bridges of the United Kingdom in both the UK Reform and many of the Conservative Party. Conservatives who kept far in 2016 are now publicly supportive. Boris Johnson, Foreign Minister shadow Pretty Patel, and Najel Farraj and Les Truss, made a pilgrimage to Washington for the installation.
Political attacks have been encouraged and copied by the British right. Suela Braverman, The former Minister of Interior Echo, Vans. Little Little District Robert Jenrik, a spokesman for the Conservative Party, distinguishes from Musk.
The British Radical Radical voices were distinguished from the UK winner Maga's agenda, which is based on the immigration campaign, the deportation of foreign criminals, the abolition of clear clear initiatives, the retreat of transit rights and discounts on the bureaucracy of Wattal. Only in their small hostility in NHS do Populalists in Britain they offer an exploitation loophole.
Moreover, the electoral system, for a very long time, may work against the new parties and the sermon, now in its favor. Talking about an exaggerated reform government, but the party's current position can give it a decisive voice in the next parliament. Fear of reform is to attract conservatives to the same region. Conservative Party lamented one of the greats, “The work has become very popular. We had no time to rebuild our brand.” At the same time, Starmer lacks communications skills to respond to Hazem's right.
Victory should not be absolute. The movement has already turned the borders. The growing Farage party has now become major and the conservatives moved to the right. Progressive inside the government finds themselves declining while the ministers are concerned about the threat of reform.
They are the first days. The work may recover. Trump's sparkle may fade. But the international governor has a new feeling of momentum. This movie may have a different end.
