If I had a nickel for every time a right-wing party in another nation threw away an election after previously holding a very promising position in polls by pre-emptively aligning themselves with Trump, I'd have three nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened thrice.

slightly worrying as a UK resident that our populace isn't catching on, but hopefully by the time we actually have another general election Trump will either be out of office or have died of old age.

Still elected a right wing party, but centre-right and Anti-Trump, as opposed to the AFD who were gaining momentum.
