Far-Right Definition

What is the definition of Far-Right in the UK

For example, some say UKIP are Far-Right. Are they?

I don't think UKIP are far right.

I googled far right groups and found this interesting link.

Are we to believe this article...or mikey?

Here's what Wikipedia has to say about it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far-right_politics

My own view is that the term 'far right' is almost inevitably linked to chauvinism and xenophobia (at the very least) and more commonly to racism.

That's unfortunate for those of us whose politics are well to the right (Margaret Thatcher was nowhere near enough to the right for me) but who are also Europhiles and who believe that immigration is beneficial. (i.e. because I'm to the right of Maggie, I'd like to use the term 'far right' to describe my political views but I clearly can't because I'm neither racist nor xenophobic!)

it's not as far right as the BNP (though individual members may be).

Well I wouldn't have said so but it seems I have lost track of what the definition is in the UK.

>>>They were accurate

I disagree. That slide (pictured in the link) doesn't use the term 'far right'. It calls UKIP 'racist'. While I have no time for UKIP, I'd regard the party's policies as 'xenophobic', rather than 'racist'. (However I fully accept that there are probably plenty of racists within UKIP's membership - but that's not the same as labelling the party itself as 'racist').

And surely the school and teacher wouldn't have apologised Methyl.

Will read that later chris Ta.

I gave up reading that article when Hope not Hate were mentioned Talbot

"I fully support the presentation by the teacher at this Bristol School."

Really? So you think over 16% of the UK population are not so different to Hitler, Methyl?



but listen carefully and you will hear they are not so different to Hitler-and that is scary.

[-Talbot-]

Polls say over 16% of the national vote will go to UKIP.

You support this presentation that says Ukip are not that different to Hitler.

[-Talbot-]

So what % of the electorate do you think will vote for the UKIP scum?

Which would make them...?

The Bible as them at 14% at the moment
