In these dark times of the Great Replacement, it is good for a few sunbeams of hope. One possible development is for both the Left and Right to merge on the question of immigration limitation. In Denmark, an election is on the horizon, and the front-runners are the Social Democrats, led by Mette Frederiksen, who is likely to become the next prime minister. What she, and her party has done is to merge Leftist economics, with Right wing opposition to immigration. “For me, it is becoming increasingly clear that the price of unregulated globalisation, mass immigration and the free movement of labour is paid for by the lower classes,” she recently wrote. Her policies go far beyond what Trump dreamed about, but did nothing to achieve: “include a law allowing jewellery to be stripped from refugees, a burqa and niqab ban, mandatory handshakes irrespective of religious sentiment at citizenship ceremonies, and a plan to house criminal asylum seekers on an island used for researching contagious animal diseases. In February, she backed what the DPP has branded a “paradigm shift” – a push to make repatriation, rather than integration, the goal of asylum policy.”
I am not one to like Left wing economic policy, but the Nordic countries love it, and that is not going to change any time soon, so if I was voting, I would bite my lip and vote for her. Getting immigration under control must be the West’s first priority; dealing with Leftism will need to be further down the list.
