Axios: “Millennials are raging against what they view as a broken system built by their elders, but unlike Bernie Sanders supporters in the United States, increasing numbers of young people in Europe are latching onto a very different kind of politics — the anti-Islam, anti-immigrant, right-wing populist movement sweeping the continent.”
A few numbers:
- France: Marine Le Pen leads polling among 18-24-year-olds with 33% in the first round of presidential voting — her largest support from any age group.
- The Netherlands: Support for Geert Wilders’ Party for Freedom among 18-25-year-olds has increased from 7% in 2006 to 27% in 2016.
- Germany: Alternative for Germany’s supporters are second-youngest among the country’s parties.
The Washington Post has a preview on Wednesday’s election in The Netherlands.
