All right, Alexander, we have to talk about the elections in Portugal.

And the mainstream media is, once again, saying this is the rise of the far right.

I despise this left-right narrative.

I really do.

But anyway, this is the rise of the far right, and they're talking about the Chega party,

which I believe they came in third place, but I'm looking at the numbers now.

I'm not sure what place. I do believe they came in third, but the rise is phenomenal.

They went from 12 seats five years ago to 48 seats in these elections.

12 seats in 2022 to now 48 seats in the 230-seat parliament in these elections.

And they could be playing the Kingmaker, I guess, if they decide to form a coalition with one

of the winning parties.

Most likely it'll be the center, the center right party.

If they do decide to form a coalition, then they could be in government.

What do you think of what's happening in Portugal?

The social Democrat led, the Democratic alliance is the center right party that they could form a

coalition with the other party that, that, that is pretty much even with the Democratic

alliance is the center left socialist party. So those are the two top parties and then you have

Chega right underneath them. Great position to be in.

It's a good, very good. In theory, it is a very good position to be in. And of course, if things

were to follow the normal democratic book, well, clearly there's been a big swing to the right in this Portuguese election.

I'm going to come back to this issue of left and right, because I agree with you, by the way.

But anyway, there's been what is being referred to as a swing to the right.
