Anacyclosis and the Limits of Liberal Democracy

Liberal democracy is centered around the idea that a majority vote in parliament should have unrestricted jurisdiction to change society as the majority sees fit. By contrast, Hungary and America have constitutions that protect the country against runaway majorities.

Éric Zemmour’s Jewish Paradox

His underwhelming flop among the general electorate notwithstanding, the right-wing candidate has exposed a deep fracture within France’s Jewish community that may reappear in future races.

Winning a Debate, or Winning the Election? The Stakes of the Second Round Duel

Marine Le Pen was playing a very long game in the debate, and immense pressure must have weighed on her shoulders. Not only did she have to wash away the affront from 2017, but she also had to remain focused on the one and only goal worth mentioning: to win the second round on Sunday, April 24th.

Paris Elections Diary

Five years since their last debate, Macron is the incumbent, whose regular put-downs during walkabouts have done a lot to make him one of France’s most unpopular presidents.

Swedish NATO Accession Facing Problems

With my direct experience and decades-long analysis of Swedish politics, I question whether the Swedish Parliament can sustainably fund a NATO membership. However, even if they do, there is another, more controversial aspect: the rise of radical Islamism.

Fleeing from Facts

After an MP had just been murdered in cold blood, and without evidence that social media played any role in causing the heinous act, the spectacle of MPs wasting parliamentary time with irrelevant distractions was a shameful scandal. For how much longer will the political class flee from reality rather than face unpleasant facts?

#SaccageParis: a Genuine Democratic and Conservative Movement Against an Electoral Oligarchy

The #SaccageParis movement deserves our full attention. It is an example of a parallel democracy that is fundamentally rooted in—and desires to preserve—identity and heritage. In short, it is a conservative movement.
