Don't be silly, just because there are three right-wing parties, it doesn't mean they map onto that range.
The label "far right" is just used to smear people, rather than something that represents a real group in Britain.
- louthy 22d agoI’m not being “silly”, each party is more extreme than the last. Rupert Lowe is an ethno-nationalist who clearly believes in ethnic cleansing (through forced deportation, at least) and is clearly a fascist with deep religious intolerance (against Islam and Judaism). Farage although he occasionally comes out with troubling rhetoric, and is clearly racist, I don’t think he’d go full Nazi; and the Conservatives, although they have moved further right in the past decade, are still fundamentally centre right. * Conservatives “centre right” to “right wing” [1]: * Reform: “far right” [2], but they have tempered their original far-right rhetoric and are clearly positioning themselves as hard-right these days. * Restore: “far right” [3] I don’t know why you think this is odd. Political parties tend to carve out their niche on the political spectrum.
