Over the weekend, the countries making up the European Union held elections for representatives to the EU parliament. As the results came in, it became clear that Europe is becoming increasingly divided. Nationalist parties gained significant ground, though pro-EU groups still maintained a sizable majority. In Britain, the months-old Brexit Party was the big winner, garnering 32% of the vote, clearly sending the message that Britons are not happy with the soon-to-be-departing Prime Minister Theresa May’s failure to secure a Brexit deal. May’s Conservatives and the left-wing Labour Party were routed.
In Italy, Matteo Salvini, leader of the conservative League Party, celebrated a big election victory by declaring, “There is a wind of positive energy. It has brought in fresh air.” Salvini’s populist party campaigned heavily against the EU’s pro-migrant policies. After years of nearly uncheck mass migration from mainly Muslim-majority countries in the Middle East and North Africa, many Europeans have tired of being relegated to the status of second-class citizen by their elitist, globalist-minded leaders. They’re turning to new populist/nationalist parties to fix it.

They are finally realizing the immigrants are destroying their culture of civilization trying to stop the destruction before it is too late.
Northwest Woodsman: It is just the natural order of things and human nature. Through the centuries, travel and communications capabilities have allowed for more integration of races and cultures that have little or no relationship to each other. It has been a continual source of conflict throughout history. Consider, for example, the English and Irish conflicts back in the 1500s. Same race but different cultures. Conflict will always be with us when we force diversity on different cultures.
