It was BREXIT which gave a rightward shift to the world politics. Consequent to BREXIT, Donald Trump is elected as US president, protectionism prevailed in his approaches. There is rise of right in Europe though refugee crisis is a major reason but BREXIT provided the impulse. There is rise of far right leaders like Erdogen in Turkey, Strengthening of Rajapakshe in srilanka, and in many countries including the recent elections in Spain where rightist party doubled its elected representatives. The rise of rightist policies across the world like RKUHP in Indonesia, US withdrawal from Paris climate deal,etc.. Didn't right reach its saturation yet?
The victory of Jeremy Corbyn over Boris Johnson can reverse this trend. This Christmas election of UK is at a point of time when the right is at its peak. If Jeremy Corbyn can swap with Tories, it could be the game changer for the world politics. Jeremy Corbyn with his views over Israel Palestinian problem, NATO-Russia problem,.. have out of box thinking which is not sweet to US. We should wait to see if can push the right to its saturation and reverse the political cycle away from right.
