It's not liberal democracy that's being rejected in favour of more authoritaria forms of government. Capitalism is what's being rejected; neoliberalism, along with growing wealth inequality, and unbridled corporatism. To the discussants here, the continued ascendance of neoliberalism is a forgone conclusion. That Europeans are rejecting austerity is disingenuously misinterpreted as a rejection of democracy. To pave the way, one presumes, for a more authoritarian form of government that will cram neoliberalism down their throats, if need be. And blame them -- the common people -- for not voluntarily submitting to corporate plutocracy.

Neo-liberal, global-capitalism is a race to the bottom. It undermines the wages of the working class in the developed world by outsourcing or adding extremely cheap competition from other countries. This is the cause of the rise of the extreme alt-right who are seeking to regain the lost dignity and wages. Unfortunately this has manifested in a racist, xenophobic way. The solution is for governments to create policies that create small, local business to thrive. But this goes against the large capitalist interests that contribute large sums of money to political campaigns.
