The Left lost big in America’s 2024 election.
But it isn’t just in America that they are losing big.
And leftists are panicking at this latest global trend.
Leftists losing worldwide
Conservative populism is on the rise, and not just in America.
A new analysis conducted by the Telegraph of over 70 countries shows that the Left is losing big.
The analysis showed an average of just 45% of votes went to left-leaning parties and candidates.
Those numbers were lowest in the U.S. and Western Europe at just 42%.
Meanwhile, right-leaning parties and candidates received 57% of votes on average.
The trend follows Donald Trump’s landslide victory, in which he won the popular vote by nearly 2 million votes.
Leftist parties and candidates are at their lowest popularity since the Cold War in the 1990s.
Experts expect the Left’s decline to continue.
Leftist parties in Canada, Australia, and Germany are expected to lose big in upcoming elections.
“The trend is up. There is no real reason to expect that it will stop anytime soon,” Prof. Matthijs Rooduijn, a political scientist from the University of Amsterdam, told the New York Post.
In Canada, conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is now the favorite to replace leftist Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who recently abruptly resigned.
Conservatives appear to be gaining ground in Australia as well, with polls showing the country’s conservative party gaining ground over the current leftist ruling party.
Many experts point to the immigration issue as driving the Right’s popularity.
The immigration issue in America no doubt played a major role in Trump’s victory.
Americans have been frustrated with the open-borders of the Biden administration.
America has seen a rise in human and drug trafficking across the border, and dangerous gangs and drug cartels.
Trump’s calls to secure the border and cut down on immigration has resonated with America’s working-class, and the same thing has happened in parts of Europe.
Europe has likewise been experiencing an immigration crisis over the years.
The European Union has been forcing large numbers of immigrants onto its member states through its so-called asylum program.
These countries have seen a strain on their welfare systems as well as spikes in crime.
Like in the U.S., these countries have seen migrants abuse the asylum system.
Many of the immigrants that have flooded Europe have abused welfare programs and refused to assimilate and become productive members of society.
Jeremy Cliffe of the globalist think tank Council on Foreign Relations listed three factors for the rise of the Right in Europe.
“The globalization-driven decline of organized labor, rising identity politics harnessed more successfully by the Right than the Left, and a general tendency among Leftist forces to fragment rather than unite,” he said.
The recent elections in America proved that working-class Americans aren’t buying what the Left is selling, and as we can see from these polls, neither are many Europeans.
Other parts of the world could soon be seeing some major shakeups in their upcoming elections.
