Yes, far-right parties will make some gains in some countries, but the results will likely show more continuity in European political trends than deep change. There’s a chance far-right parties will do well enough to band together to challenge the three leading groups in the center , and a strong showing by these parties would give an unwelcome boost of confidence to the forces of illiberal democracy and neo-authoritarianism. But fears of their growing power added to the Brexit backlash raise the prospect that pro-E.U. parties can to some degree counterbalance the surging far right.
