I have been having this feeling in a good number of the European country votes,  that if the Left does go on the offense and actively address issues of concern to the people, then the Right will. I hadn't thought of the angle you discuss here, but it makes a lot of sense to me. As usual, astute political commentary here, thanks again Saturday!!
