European Tea Party Movements On The March
2014-02-20
[Breitbart] Call it the glocalization of the Tea Party movement.

As those in the global -- and permanent -- superclass seek to make borders irrelevant, increase taxes, and empower unaccountable and far removed bureaucracies, racking up debt, increasing cronyism, and ruining economies while becoming more out of touch, Europeans are taking cues from America's Tea Partiers. They are saying, "Enough. We're mad as hell, and we're not going to take it anymore."

Described as anti-elitist, anti-Brussels, and against unchecked immigration, European Tea Party leaders like Geert Wilders, who leads the Freedom Party in the Netherlands, Marine Le Pen, who leads La Belle France's Front National (FN) movement, and Nigel Farage, who leads the the UKIP (The United Kingdom Independence Party), are heading movements that "are populist and nationalist." Their supporters are fed up with those who got Europe into the political and fiscal mess that it is in today. And similar movements are gaining strength in Italia, Austria, Poland, Romania, and even Greece. Those who support the European Tea Party movements have said they are not against institutions, but rather fiercely opposed to the "cosy mainstream consensus" in which "the left and right... says the same."

#3  I suspect that a declining Euro standard of living has a lot to do with this. Consider the mis-named "Arab Spring".
