Maybe you should read the "far-right" sources instead of biased news about them.

1.) In what way did I misrepresent their positions?

2.) Do you believe I treated these parties and politicians unfairly? How so?

3.) Exactly what is the bias in these particular sources? How are they biased? I did note in the text itself that mainstream/national news has a bias toward liberalism (in the political science sense of the term) and that these parties have often been excluded from political participation by these sources.

4.) How do you know I have not read such sources? Why do you assume that is the case? (see #1) What sources should I be reading? (I already read a number of sources that I consider to be far right, although these particular parties are in countries whose languages I do not know).

5.) At no point did I impugn people's choices to elect these politicians. I'm not making any value judgement; I'm just pointing out why I don't think their program will work and why they might lose popularity. I don't care if anyone supports them--that's their right as long as we live in a democracy and as long as they abide by the law.
