What if the youth of Europe are aligning more with right-wing populism than the traditional left? Join us on the Feudal Future podcast as we unpack this surprising trend with Fraser Myers, deputy editor of Spiked, and Frank Furedi, executive director of the NCC think tank in Brussels. Together, we dissect the political upheaval sweeping across Europe, revealing the key factors driving young people toward populist movements—ranging from dissatisfaction with identity politics to the economic challenges they face. We also delve into the constraints of EU membership on national sovereignty and how this feeds into a growing public demand for greater democratic accountability.
