Even as the far-right gains ground with bold and simple stories, much of the political establishment still treats moderation as the only path to victory. Too often, liberal elites and cautious centrists confuse electoral management with real leadership.

We are all tired of hearing the same tune: “the far-right is winning.” Yet, it keeps happening.

Far-right parties are topping polls across Europe’s biggest democracies while already sitting in cabinets and even leading governments in several EU countries and beyond.

    It is possible considering these examples of inclusive, centre-oriented (not extreme right) and connecting political campaigns like Obama’s " Yes we can" and Mandela’s “Rainbow nation”.

    We need some progressive parties to take this to heart and translate this message to this age, like the Dutch Rob Jetten did this year with his campaign “It is possible”, which he copied from Obama.
