Inflation caused by the pandemic era policies upturned governments more that any acronym. The U.K. went the opposite of right, for instance. And Orban in Hungary might finally get the boot this year because of economic doldrums.
If economy is good people won’t care about politics when economy is bad folks start getting political and we see it in whole west France, Germany and Canada are without government and most folks in this countries are shifting more and more right.

We agree. But you don’t seem to agree with your earlier post up-thread.
The right-wing party of the traditional two (the tories) was absolutely slaughtered in the election and they've now elected as the party leader (although not without some controversy–apparently tactical voting gone wrong) a fairly standard right-wing populist in Badenoch.
There is also the increasingly substantial spectre of the far-right, with race riots taking place over summer and Musk's pet favourite Reform party gaining ground.
It seems very possible to me right now that at the next general election the UK will swing seriously to the right. If this does happen it will the fault of Labour as far as I'm concerned. Of course that's still a long way away and we can always live in hope.
