The far right has fallen in the UK, France, and soon the US. New Zealand had their incumbent drop out 6 weeks prior to election and they got 2 great terms with Jacinda Ardern.

Don’t lose hope. Just vote and get all your dumbass friends and family who don’t vote to vote.

All we can do is hope. But with such a high percentage of religious influence, I’m worried. I’ll Never understand how people can not see why you have to separate church and state.

Did the dropping out incumbent face legal challenges from an increasingly openly partisan federal courts system? And our campaign laws?

(Please say yes 🙏.....I'm dying.....)

No. They’re just extreme as fuck.

For what it’s worth, this is a state legal question, not federal

Take NZ off that list. The coalition we have in government is dismantling everything Labour did with interest. It's not a good time to be middle class or poorer here.

Literally has not fallen. Far right has gained more support in all areas except head of state.

This is bad info to propagate.

Take uk off that list. Reform came third place on a platform of anti immigration/racism. Their party is only 6 years old and yet they got so much of the popular vote that in a proportional voting system they’d have serious influence. Next election they’ll win even more power
