Rise of Populist Parties and Voter Turnout Trends in European Elections

The chapter delves into the increase in voter turnout in European elections, shifting away from protest votes towards dissatisfaction with national governments. It explores the rise of far-right populist parties in various countries like France and Germany, attributing their growth to public discontent and geopolitical uncertainties. The discussion also speculates on the potential impact of upcoming elections, political landscapes in the UK and Europe, and concerns about the rise of populism if current issues are not addressed.
