As I read this article and the descriptions of these women and their political agenda all I could think of is how far to the left the Overton window has been pushed that these women are considered far right, the fact that these women are not the typical/traditional Conservative type is mentioned and that a lot of this is due to a push back against trans demands. Quite a refreshing article that gives me hope that the extreme left have massively over played their hand.

The march of Europe’s right-wing women

The British Conservative party may be hopelessly behind in the polls, yet all over Europe the right is surging ahead. Everywhere you look, the left is losing – in Italy, Spain, Sweden, Finland, Poland, Hungary and now, following an election victory for...

Erm, no. The AFD and the Front National?! Fuck right off.

The transgender agenda has managed very successfully to insert itself in mediocre left-wing parties, but it is the ultimate neo-liberal movement based on extreme individualism and profits for the pharmaceutical industry.

Agree totally. There is nothing inherently left-wing about it. But you have to admit that it is depressing how many left-wing and liberal people have fallen for it.

The national front have always been considered far right. Whether it's parties that were fringe before getting power or nutters like trump taking over mainstream parties I don't think the overton window has remotely shifted to the left- it has, however, widened to allow in extremists at both ends because existing political parties have become disengaged From their supporters.

I also don't think Genderism is at all left wing, let alone far left. Internationally it's latched itself to the left far more than the right or centre but that varies a lot and is about the age of supporters and the method of entryism, rather it's underlying political ideology.

I'm hoping the same for the neoliberal right.

At least one of those parties, Vox, is fascist, not just right wing.

The transgender agenda has managed very successfully to insert itself in mediocre left-wing parties, but it is the ultimate neo-liberal movement based on extreme individualism and profits for the pharmaceutical industry.

Meanwhile, the lower and middle-class flood victims in Italy have had zero assistance from their lovely new right-wing government.

The left rants on constantly about money and sex.

It's their only concern. Attacking the right over not giving them enough money and attacking the right over any restrictions on making everything about their sex lives.

Recent Matt Walsh tweet:

"The Left has never lost control of an issue and a narrative as quickly and as completely as they have with the trans issue. They are in uncharted waters now and they’re panicking. And they should be."

That is, the best for those of us who still believe in a conservative mindset in politics, naturally encompassing GC worldview.

This will now never come from the left or left leaning parties.

The best we can hope for in UK is that Starmer doesn't get a mandate in 2028 for a Kemi Badenoch or Miriam Cates run Tory party (sorry Liz and Suella, your chances have gone).
