Jobbik[1] are now the third biggest party in Hungary. Their candidates are openly anti-semitic[2]. They want to return Hungary's borders to those of the pre-WWI Kingdom of Hungary. They put up statues to military commanders who were allies of Hitler. It would be a big mistake to call Jobbik just an anti-immigration movement.
I agree that there are very few far left parties in Europe with any number of elected politicians.

[2] >In a newsletter published by a group calling itself "The trade union of Hungarian police officers prepared for action", the following was allegedly printed: "Given our current situation, anti-Semitism is not just our right, but it is the duty of every Hungarian homeland lover, and we must prepare for armed battle against the Jews." The editor of the union, Judit Szima, was a Jobbik candidate in the upcoming election for the European Union parliament. Haaretz alleged Szima "didn't see anything wrong with the content of the article."
