Europe's far right
Political parties considered
to be on the far or extreme side of the right wing have been
gaining increased political
legitimacy in Europe.
European Union
The Identity, Tradition, Sovereignty group, a coalition of far-right European political parties, won official recognition in the European Parliament this year, having met the threshold for official party status by electing 20 members to the European parliament across six EU countries.
Austria
The Freedom Party gained notoriety in 1999 when, under leader Jorge Haider, it won 52 seats in the national legislature and joined the coalition government. It won 21 seats in the most recent vote.
Belgium
The French-language National Front has never managed to win more than one or two national seats, but the Flemish-language Flemish Interest party has seen a steady rise in popularity, now with 17 seats in the legislature. The mainstream parties, however, continue to refuse to take it in as part of a coalition.
Bulgaria
The National Union Attack won 21 seats in the last legislative elections, and its leader, Volen Siderov, came second in the first round of the 2006 presidential election. He lost the final ballot, but garnered one-quarter of the votes.
Denmark
The Danish People's Party has seen a doubling of its popularity since it made its electoral debut in 1998 and now has 24 members in the legislature.
France
The National Front has managed to only elect one member at most to the National Assembly since its shocking results in 1986, when it won 35 seats. But Leader Jean-Marie Le Pen came in second in first round of the 2002 presidential vote, though lost the final ballot.
Norway
The Progress Party became the second-largest party in parliament in 2005, raising its seat count from 26 to 38.
Switzerland
Led by the right-wing billionaire industrialist Christoph Blocher, the Swiss People's Party was already the largest single bloc in the National Council going into the election this month, when it picked up even more seats.
I see they forgot to mention Holland's Partij Voor De Vrijheid (PVV) - Freedom Party led by Geert Wilders.
