About center-right coalitions
... "firewalls" and political discouragement
This book provides an overview of the potential of center-right governments. It examines the past in Austria and the present in other European countries and defines the focal points. A new dividing line is also highlighted that seems more important than the orientation towards socialism or capitalism: Left-wing parties are increasingly looking for their target audience in an immigrant milieu that is rapidly growing due to mass immigration, while right-wing parties, as patriots, align their politics with the traditional population and citizens.
The publication also addresses current questions: Should election results be recognized and a government based on voters' preferences be formed? Is it democratic to declare opinions other than one's own to be undemocratic? Does the term “political center” mean that the democratic spectrum to the left and the right is equally part of democracy? And: Why do those who build firewalls against right-wing political forces consciously restrict the democratic spectrum?
The publication aims to provide insights into forms of political power distribution and historical development at national and international levels, as well as to promote and further develop analytical and critical thinking and a comprehensive understanding of democracy.
