Why then do countries with existing left parties and proportional representation elect further and further right-wing parties in Europe?
It's simple: They promise easy solutions for complicated problems. Banning immigration will fix all crime and the economy, opposing LGBTQ+ rights will ensure a return of the better olden days, climate change is nothing to be worried about etc etc
And even people depending on social support will gladly shoot themselves in their feet if it means someone else will have it worse.
Obviously they haven't gone far left enough. /s
Some people want easy solutions. Not unlike Trump voters.
