While I agree to some extent with Miriam González Durántez that the Far Right's rise is because they are more committed to politics than an historically complacent centre, what she really doesn't identify is how the centrist political class have continually depicted the moderate Left as 'extremists' too, and thereby played into the hands of the Far Right (as an 'acceptable' extremism).
The centre has proved to be really dangerously disingenuous in its views of the Left!

@ChrisMayLA6@mastodon.me.uk This self-serving mendacity of #centrists is so deeply destructive that they really anger me. Miriam González Durántez is a particularly ugly example, given her marriage to a notorious liar who discarded a crucial electoral pledge then went off to pocket many millions from a notoriously exploitative company which actively sabotages democracy. Her husband #NickClegg should be jailed for crimes against democracy
