Forbes covers the intersection of entrepreneurship, wealth, technology, business and lifestyle with a focus on people and success.
You immediately lose any credibility when you describe Rishi Sunak's Tory government in the UK as "centrist".
He definitely didn't lean toward the right?
The right is becoming so unpopular they’re going to try to take over other parties. We’ll see how that goes since their desperation for slave labor, because they are drunk on their insatiable greed, is becoming too hard to conceal.
Rishi center left globalist
Remember this guy probably things Hitler was a Centrist....
Doesn't their new government support Palestine?
Rich people have a way of being uniquely out-of-tune with good sense. They are much like PhDs... they think because they know quite a bit about one thing that they know quite a bit about everything. More than you!
@@RockBrentwood In Steve Forbes' case he didn't even need that. He inherited his wealth and social position from his father.
What's your definition of good sense in this case?
That many countries' citizens have responded very badly to the influx of large number of immigrants / refugees for example, is a fact.
Voters on average might well be happier if their governments had chosen to be more evil on the issue.
so true!
@@Leto2ndAtreides cringe
Yes! I knew a PhD who set in his office demonstrating to me his ability to turn on his computer using only his mind. After 5 minutes of this ridiculous display of stupidity I asked him, "wouldn't it be easier to just reach over & turn it on using your finger?" His reply was, " that would be too easy. You see we PhD's are taught to push the envelope of innovation, so that's what I'm doing." He never succeeded in this, allthough he added a loud humming to the attempt. I left him to his stupidity!
To describe the previous conservative government as centrist is ludicrous.
Maybe centrist for the US, definitely right wing for the UK.
Sunak is a centrist. At best. Explain otherwise? Thatcher is Right.
@@Afrinaturality What is right wing about massive immigration and massive taxation?
Is it? It had almost identical policies in the biggest issues as the new Labour centrsits
@@AfrinaturalityLike Labour then. The policies on all the big issues are the same or almost the same
Forbes going full fascist
Follow the money!
Both France and the Uk, and Europe and NA generally, have ignored the concerns of their respective citizens. That is why sitting governments are being toppled. The voters are PUNISHING the government of the day by NOT voting for them, or, in the case of France, possibly interference by the President to influence the outcome. Few governments attempt to govern their countries well; they are more concerned about clinging to power!!
There was no interference in the french and UK elections, people just hate the right wing.
we haven't ignored we have just had democratic elections we have rejected the hateful ideology of the far right rhetoric.
You don't have a clue. Europeans don't bow to conservatives.
Facts
Same in India. People are suffering under uneducated Modi but he is clinging to power by manipulated strategies.
To see Elite concerned on Democracy Results makes me trust in Democracy.
yep when i see forbes commenting how bad it is that the left is in, i'm llke yeah they don't want class politics, they don't like it, and they want to distract us. So many people are caught up in ideologies of the right-wing and will just focus on immigration like that is the source of all terrible things, like sorry to tell you but even if there were no immigrants in your country there would still be immense problems if you dont' have good social policies and a good government in action
Steve Forbes knew no one would watch him on his own channel so he decided to put his video on the Forbes channel that has 1.68 million subscribers. Sad.
But this channel are much better than any mainstream media out there like CNN, Fox News, BBC, etc
Hehe.. good observation
@@wazzup233 lol no
No need for his own channel. He is thevoice of Forbes.
This is his channel
It’s about time western governments actually started working for a country’s people instead of their own self interest and personal agendas!
You just described every politician on the planet. As Robin Williams once said, they should wear jackets with the logos of the people who own them.
What's the solution? Limit illegal migration for one.
And legal immigration.
To limit is not enough! That won't solve anything! It must be totaly stopped and they must be sent back!!
Forced repatriation?
It always has been and always will be.
The problem is that many of the people coming in are in fact refugees. So, "legally", you can only limit them so much.
Plus, there's the more basic question of "Who is responsible for those countries being broken in the first place?"
Put sanctions on a poor country, and you shouldn't be surprised if it falls apart and produces a ton of refugees trying to escape disaster.
If Steve Forbes things they are bad news, I am going to go out and dance in the streets.
seriously what is this Nazi central publishing ltd?
lmaooo
Kier is an extremist apparently now 😂😂😂😂 next you’ll tell me the colour beige is more colourful than the rainbow.
It is great news, if Forbes says it is bad.
Get it while the getting is good. And that is what the evil bastards are doing.
it's not only about finance mr. forbes. and it's not the far right, it's a real opposition instead of the uniparty that differs only on tax rates.
Taxes are excessive, funding far away wars. Meanwhile, citizens paying for these same wars are going broke. Taxation without representation.
let the people decide, not the opinion of journalists.
He leaves out the effect of corruption and greed. I guess the rich are not rich enough.
Forbes said it as it is backed by facts.
Much respect for the French and UK voters. French and UK voters are good people.

There is no F ar-Ri ght in France.
As oppose to the US elections being good news??
Just MAKE SURE..YOU ARE stocked and ready...Cuz US Election WILL not be much better.
What a crock.
It is time to invest the money made youtube to invest in purchasing a better microphone. Why have yhe background noise?
Does anyone remember how much more peaceful and enjoyable life was before politics went radical? I long for those days.
The old orders have fallen. The new order are here and very evil.
France has called for 90% taxes on any income over 900K Euros, I hope they do it, then see how that works out.
I think it's time for you to retire!
How wrong you are guys, read my comment about Yemen and Qatar.
😂 people still trust elections even after 2020
What is “far right” in today’s day and age?I never hear or see “far left” in the media and where is the dividing lines?
It is not a bad news for us.
OP. You should create a video about what happens now that the Petro Dollar is over. What comes next.
Thank you Steve Yes Sir
Ok. What is the bad news?
Hope it's not too late
Nary a comment on the abundant subsidies that France and the USA pays its farmers and businesses. How about governments get rid of corporate welfare before you rail against welfare for people.
France will be better off with a new leader who has a humanitarian spirit and respects human rights
Don't worry be happy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The Media is complicit in making ordinary citizens worried and anxious about all the bad and negative things going on in the world. When I go shopping, I see people sitting down with friends having a coffee and lots of warm chatter going on. Lots still going to restaurants. Lots meeting at the Swan river (I live in Perth), Plenty traffic on the road with people going about their daily tasks and work. I personally just enjoy sitting at the Coffee Club enjoying a plate of chips and a flat white and watching the passers by etc etc and people just behaving normally....And enjoying the simple things in life and just being alive (I am now going on for 86). My advice is to stop listening to the news and appreciate just being alive! Mrs.Rosa Larsen (I am Peter's wife)
Yes, because we all know that if you’re not drowning the ship must not be sinking.
Says the foreign invader living off tax payer money. How many "family" members will you be importing and destroying our children's future?
Yup, Davos is just a cocktail party amongst friends.....
Hi good point, except we are having it just as tough as anyone else. I come from a time of WW2 in Italy as a child when hunger and suffering was the order of the day, and, actually, my dad was a Naval Officer lost at sea, so I know all about drowning. I have learnt to live simply and although unfortunately, lost all my savings not as a fault of my own, so I have great empathy for the suffering of humanity. I hope you are ok and I send my kindest regards and best wishes. Mrs. Rosa Larsen (Peter's wife offering my view on life)@@CSUnger
On the contrary, it is good news for the future of Europe. The people have awoken to the mess created by the EU Commission and the EU Council trading economics for political theology at the expense of the Bloc. Essentially, the US is losing control over the EU. And therefore the lamentation.
Can't wait to see what happens in the UK and France when they run out of other people's money. My sympathies to all the victims of these idiotic policies.
That's gonna happen right after Switzerland runs out of other peoples money ...... ah wait ..... the whole right wing western world has collapsed several times in the 350 years since capitalism exists, Switzerland with it's absolutely liberal direct democracy has survived just fine throughout its entire existence.
The people voted end of story you want some tissues
@@lesmondk3376 not an argument against what he said. Reading comprehension problem.
@@dootdoot1867 The people have voted
@@lesmondk3376 not an argument
Labour and the Conservatives have pulled the UK Left over time to the point that the Centre is now on the Right. 80% of all voters in the UK did not vote for Labour. The UK voting system (First Past The Post) is not a proportional system so with less than 34% of the vote Labour are able to claim a landslide victory. In a proportional system the UK would need a coalition government. If you accept that proportional is more democratic then you have to accept that the UK currently has a minority government but I don't expect any people in any other foreign country to start protesting for electoral reform in the UK. France are (in my opinion) worse than the UK, their two round voting system enables tactical voting in the second round to ensure that (in this case) the Right wing party cannot take power despite having won the first round. The EU has lots of requirements that members need to meet yet despite the fact that most EU countries use proportional voting systems, for some reason a common standard of voting is not pushed by the EU which makes me believe that both countries use their respective systems to ensure that only one of two parties can ever form a government and as that suits the EU for the UK & France (when the UK was still a member of the EU) the issue of an EU wide standard never got pushed.
Hey Steve, maybe don’t cause chaos are don’t ruin these countries and then they wouldn’t want to leave their countries. Have you considered that?
Interesting insights. Thank you.
There may be a misunderstanding.
"Anti-Likud" and "Anti-Semitic" are not synonymous.

Bad news for who
You get what you vote for.......
Not at all! Not even close!! Here in Portland Oregon we have the first vote by mail! It's so obvious corrupt it blows your mind!! Believe it we are 90 percent concervivtive and always have been! Look it up yourself! It's bad;
Did he have a gun on his head or smth to spit all this bullshit?
Forbes for President.
Moral and Godlessness is what is destroying people and their nations. The Governments are a reflection of the people themselves.........."2nd Chronicles in the Holy Bible there is a verse that reads, “ if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land” ................here in lies the only solution but people are too prideful and arrogant to accept it.
Thank you for clear eyed, non-agenda based Information. “He is shaking the things that can be shaken, that the things that cannot be shaken remain.” Hebrews 12: 27. This is a watchword for many Christians that God has placed in them. Hang on! What remains will be His will.
Great for France all we need now is for Biden to win in America!
"Modernising the military". Americans know nothing.
This video is a waste of time
Good Commintery.
Forbes: News by the rich, for the rich.
C'est bien de défendre les droits de l'homme a travers le monde alors que notre propre président bafoue les droits des ses propres citoyens.
Anyone still believing in a fair system ..God bless you ! Buckle up..Winter is coming! We now today have a Labour announcement of a `Pay per mile` system when using your car..here we go!
if all you care about is pay per mile system, but not the other glaring problems that the conservative government left your country to inherit then you have a problem. If you're working class, or have been working class you are betraying your own people. Think of the children in winter without food, a more empathic government is going to do more about that, more social safety and networks to ensure people are being looked after.
@@sarahok6589 When you have lived as long as I have Dear you may well view the world more objectively 🙏
You started with bs
so true gary!
Inarticulate ramblings! Just white noise trying to respond to recent political events in the UK and France. Absolute garbage! The Spectator interviewing Andrew O'Neil offers a much more in-depth view of what's going on in France, along with some historical perspective, recommended.
Drops of wisdom here in a world 🌎 of utter idiocy.
I find it interesting that Steve talks more about his personal beliefs about America than the UK or France in a video supposedly about them.
Forbes is generally correct, but National Rally is not extremist or even “far right.”
Forbes is like Fox News, rarely correct, mostly corrupt and tell its viewers lie after lie. It is aimed at gullible and uneducated Americans.
How? Do you have any evidence for this?
it is far right lmfao
@@ChanceCourt National Rally wants to put reasonable restrictions on immigration. There is nothing “extreme” about that. The term “far right” has never been defined objectively be the media. It’s a derogatory term that the liberal media uses to smear and demonize conservative political parties.
@@ChanceCourt Define “far right.”
The voters voted. And the results are a rebuke of the far-right.
France's LePen got the majority in the first round...so the entrenched parties connived to form an unholy coalition in the second round....to force out the will of the nation to turn right and conservative.
@@TheWilferch Her near-win in the first round was a fluke. When the silent majority of voters realized they had a common enemy, they banded together to make it clear what they didn't want.
👍
End of forbes credibility
Know this is what you get when you vote Democrat. There's nothing wrong with being a conservative. 😊
I the uk the mess comes from 14 years of right wing conservative government, what is he speaking about? Fear stirring stuff that points the fingers in the wrong place
Based on what? Tony Blair and Gordon Brown? Please explain some COUNTER examples. The problem is Centrists. Like steve said. David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Rishi Sunak.... Centrists. Adverse to Margaret Thatcher... Who was Right wing. Let's measure. Thatcher vs Blair. Seems like ignorance of history. Which will have to be taught again to a new generation.
In UK Tories party was not right wing but left wing under name of "Conservative". They had left wing policies just slightly more to the central.
Sorry, you got it wrong. Conservatives in name only...they were really far left policies and actors. True Conservatives wouldn't have let all that sht in the country.
What's wrong with you? In both cases (UK and France), the people voted to REJECT Conservative governments, because they didn't like what they experienced. Anyone with half a brain would recognize it as a wake-up call! 🤦♀🤦♀🤦♀🤦♀ What exactly is difficult in this for you to understand, Mr Forbes????
Indian 🇮🇳 public happy 😂
France.. Australia.. USA - teach Indian 🇮🇳 welcome 🤗 immigrants...but Right wing..😂 hindu against immigrants ...PM Modi 🇮🇳 govt
What is this bollocks?
Not me getting lectured by a Republican with half a billion dollars net worth on why social welfare is "bad news". 😭
What's good about welfare?? I've been surrounded by it my whole life and all I see is slavery!
Then go listen to the socialist millionaire Bernie bro.
Analysis is flawed and biased. Oh and by the way, the Tories were by no means centrist lol
National Rally is NOT an extremist party. They're really center right in USA terms. The fact that you didn't do your home work negates your alleged credibility. Do your homework.
National Rally is far right: legacy of nazi SS and traitors to our nation. Maybe US has parties even more extremists but none with this legacy.
I agree with you. But europe's political landscape is way farther left than the USA'S. So from a European perspective they likely feel like the second coming of Hitler, whether that kind of bombastic thought is actually warranted or not.
Ensemble is the centrist party by most of the worlds definition. This just goes to show how far down the wrong path the US has gone.
How could a party with neo nazi and fascist in its ranks be centris?
@@missgranger5362 : NR is a centrist party, and apparently founded by Far-Leftists... so consider it a progress.
Why “FAR RIGHT “ …… just right of centre…… cannot be described as far right. Get it right man. Misinformation man
How far right or left someone views things as depends on where they sit on the political spectrum. "Stalin to the left of me, Hitler to the right, here I am stuck in the middle of you." basically.
The Conservatives were not centrist.
They were Blairite so centrist in uniform but left wing in actuality.
😂😂😂
😂
Steve Forbes' analysis is spot on.
it is not
Military spending a top priority really ....... Your insane
Et vive la république
The UK Conservatives are Right wing, and isolationists. The Labour is Centrist with a bit of a left lean.
😂😂😂!
Spouting right wing nationalist nonsense.
Rigged
no?
Ok boomer
Rubbish! Change is ALWAYS needed!
Yes. Remaining too long with leftist ideas leads to chaos. Remaining too long with right wing ideas leads to stagnation. Balancing left and right gives creativity and an honor of tradition. Those, together in healthy balance, tend to make a nation thrive.
Thanks for sharing this video!.
👎Steve Forbes. These are good news. Your time is up and you have to leave your wealth behind.
England is very good news
France nothing is done
Left can be efficient and progressif
You are full of prejudices
Erkkk....
This is clearly very biased, you are just upset because it demonstrates that there is a class consciousness and you don't want your class touched by social policies and taxes. You want a centrist government serving, just conservative enough but not too conservative so your interests as a capital owner are met, you view everything through the lenses of money, not through humanity. It is very clear to see your agenda with this, maybe title it something better lol.
Obviously so out of touch 😢
Same as hitler's death, mr Forbes?
Yes
