In reply to the discussion: Which is more right wing? [View all]pampango
(24,692 posts)45. US right wing or European right wing?
The European right strongly opposes trade deals with the US (as well as immigration, the EU and pretty much anything else that has anything to do with foreigners.) The US far right (tea party edition) opposes the UN, the WTO, TPP and TTIP, immigration reform and pretty much anything else that has anything to do with foreigners. I suspect the Asian right feels the same way as their American and European 'brothers'.
Marine Le Pen to meet other far-right leaders in move to create anti-EU bloc
France's Front National leader Marine Le Pen will meet other far-right and eurosceptic leaders on Wednesday in an attempt to create a powerful bloc in the European parliament.
Le Pen insisted the party's score was an unqualified victory despite an abstention rate of 57%. She demanded that France call a halt to talks between the European Union and the United States to create a vast free market, known as the Transatlantic Trade Treaty.
"I clearly call on the president of the Republic, firstly the dissolution of the Assemblée Nationale, because you know it is no longer at all representative of the French people," Le Pen said.
"I also demand that he does three things to take Sunday's vote into account: firstly, France halts the transatlantic treaty, secondly, France states its veto of Turkey's entry into the European Union and, thirdly, he nationalises Alstom, contrary to the rules of the European Union, to save this strategic company."

If you'd said that before, I presume people also told you then it's a useless comparison

Sneering at someone for using a teleprompter is not in and of itself racist
