Freddie says BSW is original in Europe for being “left-conservative”. But Denmark’s social democrats got there first: left-of-centre on economics, but anti-immigration..

Thomas says BSW is “unprecedented” because, as a new party it got 15% in Thuringia and 11.85 in Sachsen.
Just to remind you folks, Reform UK got 14.3% of the vote in this year’s UK general election.

I commented on Thomas Fazi’s article and for the first time ever I received a ton of up votes – Basically I expressed the desire for a party with BSW policies in the USA, Britain and other countries as many left leaning but prescriptive types like myself would flood to vote for that. Policy which is a combination of social values (government policies to ensure, clean air/water, infrastructure etc. care of people and to reign in corporate/global over-reach, exploitation & excess) alongside the rejection of prescribed governance (DEI and bureaucratic fat) and ***this aspect was lost in this interview*** a limited immigration policy based on the principle of integration (not alienation).
