The persistent cost-of-living crisis that reshaped the U.S. political landscape in 2024 is sweeping through other Western democracies. Democrats failed to grapple with the reality that the financial weight middle America was carrying after the pandemic, and exacerbated by the Biden administration’s spending spree, would ultimately lead to a Republican blowout in 2024. Some blamed the messenger, former Vice President Kamala Harris, rather than the message. While it’s true that Harris was a terrible communicator, Democrats had no answer for Americans’ economic suffering. Similarly, establishment parties across several Western democracies are realizing that the cost-of-living crisis creates prime opportunities for…
