Establishment Conservatives Falter, Spain’s Populist-Right Surges Past in Polls
Breitbart ^

An opinion poll released on Wednesday, February 23rd by the firm Electomania has populist party VOX in second place with 23 per cent, just four percentage points behind the ruling Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE), and well ahead of the People’s Party (PP) which scored just 17 per cent in the poll.

The poll shows that if an election were called, VOX would likely win as many as 92 seats in the Spanish parliament, nearly doubling its current number of seats, which stands at 52.

Earlier this month, VOX polled ahead of the PP to become the second-largest political force in Spain for the first time in a shock poll and comes as the party has seen a meteoric rise since the 2016 national elections when the party received just 0.2 per cent of the vote.

Thatcher was Britain’s Reagan. After the Cold War, conservative politics developed a new fault line between establishment types wedded to free trade, open borders, and globalized finance and markets, with populist conservatives emerging due to the drawbacks inherent in those policies and in the failure of establishment conservatives to contest the advance of cultural Marxism. Above all though, populist conservatives are willing to fight, while establishment types ask first if fighting for what they believe is a good career move.

Only partly true. They will fight to the death for open borders.
