that the left the center left in the center right to bear a great deal of responsibility their political failures and their inability to speak to these voters has led to the rise of these parties but the other thing that populist parties have done throughout europe and especially in countries like denmark and france is that they've adopted the rhetoric of the old left they're going after white working class voters not just making these cultural arguments about immigrants flooding our societies and taking them over but they're actually saying we will protect your welfare state but for you and no one else and i think that this is a very conscious effort to combine what was always a nativist position with the economic policies of the left and it's proven very effective i think the idea the kind of teetering on the age of sort of mass programs which if you listen to what things all the time that's the impression you get is just completely wrong and the law missed and and i also think it's very damaging it's damaging to you know if you are a young british muslim and you and you listen to the people like sasha was saying
