The far right in Great Britain IntroductionPerhaps, one of the most debated issues in the electoral procedures of various European nations concerns the far right. Based on the premise that the nation is the primary unit of social and political organization, extremist nationalism was revived after the end of communism. Unlike civic nationalism, which emphasizes equality and solidarity, the exaggerated, chauvinistic and aggressive nationalism of the far right upholds the meaning of the nation and national identity against any other values. Each person is defined by belonging to ancient ethnic and cultural groups arranged hierarchically according to the "natural order". From the far right's point of view, violation of this natural order through racial mixing leads to corruption in society. As a result, the far right presents itself as the defender of the nation, protecting the integrity and purity of society from foreign onslaught and unwanted changes. Therefore, national identity subordinates all other identifications; divides good from evil and friend from enemy. It is a source of pride that right-wing extremists believe has been denied to them by the state and liberals. The resurgence of far-right parties gained its first sudden and dramatic momentum when the Front National (FN), led by Jean-Marie LePen, obtained 11.2% in the 1984 European elections. This took many by surprise, including political and social scientists, most of whom at the time expected right-wing extremism to dissipate entirely. Indeed, until the mid-1980s, the organized far right remained completely marginalized in Europe, enjoyed little political support and achieved poor electoral results. Those. Jerusalem, 1996.
