> The only far-right political party in the UK was the BNP, they don't exist anymore The BNP and The National Front just evolved into other groups like Britain First, English Defence League, English Democrats etc. and yes, UKIP. "Ukip is the party for decent supporters of the BNP" said Deputy Chair Neil Hamilton in 2014 for example. > The UK doesn't have a far right, they don't exist politically, our voting system means it is impossible. They absolutely do and political power is more than winning seats. UKIP's primary influence was simply by splitting the right wing vote so that the Conservatives had to move further right (and adopt hard Brexit positions) to neutralise them. UKIP has historically been at least a "further right" party beyond the mainstream. At best I would call it the suit wearing, dog-whistling front for the far-right. Under the new leader Batten it is more unambiguously far-right itself. It appointed Tommy Robinson (BNP member, EDL founder) as an advisor for example.
