Recent electoral swings globally suggest less of a global left or right turn but rather anti-incumbency bias. In the UK Labor was blown out a few years ago only for the Conservatives to be blown out next election. In France the FN is coming to power amid a broader polarization and rejection of centrist parties. I would not be surprised to see trends reverse again in a few years. The challenge incumbents everywhere are facing is how to generate a convincing narrative of growth and optimism once in power and no one seems to have found the key to this.

Do you think it’s a reasonable response to actually subpar performance or more a product of failed narrative building?

anti-incumbency has been always there, the thing is how extreme right is capturing it with fake news and targeting minorities, no informed people is perfect target for manipulation.. the rise of extreme right and fascism is there.. even Mbappe and +200 sports had to said something.. in France..

As someone from the UK we have seen the blatant corruption of the tories for years, but the last 4 years has shone a light so bright on it that even their most hardcore voters couldn’t ignore.
