The European Parliament fails at being democratically legitimized for the simple fact that there is a huge discrepancy with how "valuable" a single vote is. When the amounts of seats per capita varies between the countries by an order of magnitude it's hard to still consider it a democratic election procedure. The only reason this is somewhat acceptable is because the European Union still is more of an international organization than a federation of states, but if they ever want to deepen the EU, they'd probably have to come up with a new system if they want to be democratic. That said I don't think fascism or right-wing extremism is what the future holds for Europe. Neither from a European level nor from the extreme rights in the European countries. Right-wing parties had smaller successes for years now and have consistently failed to leverage their election successes into a position of dominant political power. (Hell, mainstream news media have speculated of the mystical "New Right Wing" since the late 90s.)

TheIllestVillain posted:Why are those Pegida protests so strong in the East? I thought the immigrant populations were concentrated in the Western cities. The East got proper hosed after unification (Treuhand!  ) and has noticeable demographic problems. And while some parts are actually pulling ahead compared to other states, the East gets a first taste of bad economic developements all the time.

His explaination for it actually was the first politician's apology that I'd be inclined to believe.
