This won't end well for him
EDIT it's actually a year old, nobody in the media seems to want to hold the likes of Farrage to account, different gravy when it comes to JC.

Well, Farage, is not a politician, is not an MP, is not the leader of a major political party. I’ll grant you that Corbyn isn’t either really, but he’s supposed to be.......

The extreme right party "Vlaams Belang" has made some significant gains during the local elections in Flanders. Happens from time to time, it's a cyclical motion. People who are fed up vote for them; and as a result the traditional parties move a bit more to the right. They'll get decimated again during the next elections. None of them will ever have a mandate or something; there's a cordon sanitaire; all the other political parties are committed to exclude the party from any government.
In Wallonia it's different. People are getting fed up with the ruling parties (mainly the socialists- a bit too many scandals; still the biggest though) so they start voting for communists (PTB). They go even more to the left. No cordon sanitaire against them though; the socialists refuse, their plan is to destroy them by making them participate in governments. They estimate that they won't compromise; so they'll be able to say in the next elections in May that every vote on them is a lost vote.

Then I too am a politician......
If you made a career working in politics then yes, but if not, then no, you're definitely not.
I'm not sure this reply helps your cause by the way, if anything it add to it.

"Hostility towards Roma people is so ingrained in Czech political life, the country's president recently called them "work shy", and in this weekend's Czech municipal elections some politicians are openly stirring up virulent anti-Roma sentiment."

Aye, it's sadly one of those prejudices that has become pretty ingrained, even among officials.
