The Brexit Party - Evolution of the far Right?

There is certain individual that I know,

They Started off in the NF, then moved to the BNP, then Moved to UKIP, Then moved to the Brexit party.

My question is this has anyone noticed its the same faces in far right movement always cropping up in these new parties?

Do you think that there has been a concerted effort to constantly rebrand the Far right movement to make it more palatable to ordinary voters?

So in effect, we get to a point that we end up with a Facist government through the backdoor.

I think a more pertinent question is what is 'far-right'?

Whilst Nigel and his BREXIT party a far to right for me does that mean it's actually 'far right'? Is wanting to leave the EU really comparable with gassing millions of people? Is believing that the health service may be better funded by some sort of insurance system rather than general taxation in the same category as confiscating people's private property because they're considered 'enemies of the state' due to their effinicity?

I personally think this 'far right' tag is used far to readily to simply label anyone and everyone who happens not to agree with a left of centre view of the world and, as such, cheapens it's meaning.

The Brexit Party appears to modelling itself on the American right.

That doesn't make it neo-fascist by any stretch of the imagination.

It's problem, I think, is the inadequacy of its vetting, which lets some people on the lunatic fringe of society smuggle themselves into the mainstream.

i characterise the far-right as those occupying places like Britain First, the Robinson fan club and now UKIP.

Their electoral unpopularity is re-assuring.

Valid points made in that they are not the far right and that they need to sort their vetting out..

They've had to expell several people whose outlook may have been accepted in ukip but this new venture is trying to present something similar yet different..

Not in Peterborough..

Nor when you put their numbers against the other parties opposed to their idea in the European election..

They really are not the majority!

So lets say you sell more vanilla than chocolate ice cream does that mean that all ice cream has to be vanilla?

I would like to think there’s more variety in taste then that but maybe you prefer Mr Whippy which as we all know isn't real ice cream.

As for the far right - they have learned that wearing smart suits and appearing to be acceptably right of centre is the way to gain power. They keep the thugs in check because they have a vision of a new world where they will have the power to do whatever they like and unfortunately a lot of elderly people find them appealing as they appear to be clean cut and sympathetic to their worries instead of realising they are being used by unscrupulous crooks.

Does this party have any other policies? It's whole ethos is based on a single issue. Britain has far more issues than just Brexit. I am afraid the short sighted views will come back to haunt us.

I don't think they represent the majority. I think they represent a quite large but very vocal minority of between 1/4 and 1/3 of voters.

Well actually that was ukip, not this party and as staunch supporters on here are at pains to say they are not the same..

I personally think they are, just rebranded and trying to move away from the irrelevant bunch of fascists that ukip seems to be morphing into..

Given the cluster fuck that this government have overseen how could we not have Corbyn..

Brexit Party are not joining a far right group.

““Following a brief social meeting with a member of the ENF group last week there has been much speculation, fuelled by that individual, that the Brexit Party will join them in their European Parliament group.”

Mr Farage said: “I can confirm that this is not the case and that the Brexit Party will not be joining the ENF Group.”

Problem is many people believe and feel that Corbyn, and with him Labour, are complicit in the BREXIT clusterfuck and genuinely don't see Labour under Corbyn as the solution to the BREXIT conundrum.

No, I don't accept those figures. The correct figures are 37% to 35% in favour of leaving the EU with a deal better than we have now. There is no mandate from the referendum to leave with 'no deal'

If thats for me then yes I accepted the result on the day, pretty much all on here who voted remain have done the same and said it..

Accepting the result does not mean people have to agree to it and I do not..

Nothing that anyone on the leave side has shown on here has given any positives at all thus far,cliches and soundbites may satisfy yourself but not I..

Nobody can estimate what kind of leave people voted for but all you can gauge it by is what was promised by the leave campaign, we hold all the cards, better deal than we have now, EU begging us for a deal so really by rights we shouldn't have any form of Brexit unless it fulfills that criteria.

I would to a point go with that view but the facts are that in our political system the other side would have done exactly the same..

What was needed was a government of unity to sort it out but that's not happened since the 1940s..

That is my point, if the people who opted to leave are totally honest with themselves what they voted for hasn’t happened. It is only the stubborn and selfish who are pushing for a no deal brexit just to prove they haven’t ‘lost ‘

Again, we'd be out of the EU by now if it wasn't for hard-line No Deal Brexiters complaining and pushing for a delay because they want no deal at all. If anyone is to blame for the current state it's your own kind in government.

The tories won the election with 27% of the electorate voting for them. Labour came second with about 25%.

So it's feasible, although maybe not likely, that the Brexit party could win the next election.

It's also feasible, but not likely, that they could poll the largest, or second largest, number of votes and yet not have a single MP elected. That really would put the cat amongst the pigeons.

A GE is not a national election but a series of 650 local ones.

If your support is spread evenly, you stand no chance.

Parties that do well are the ones whose support is concentrated.

Two-thirds of Labour votes in 2016 were Remain and two-third of Conservative voters in 2016 were Leave.

So the Conservatives are the party most likely to lose ground to a surge by the Brexit Party.

In some places that will let another party through the middle - Lib Dems or Labour.

Actually, I think it's the far right chasing a "respectable" ultra conservative party around.

Essentially, a party is set up to cater for those with more conservative and less open social views than the Conservative party. Basically those who have a rose tinted view of the Empire, WW2, an over-exagerated view of British "greatness" and importance in the world.

Mostly harmless.

However, over time the extremists infiltrate it only a couple of steps to racism and incoherent anger.

Those who were originally attracted to it no longer want to be associated with it and drift away. The original party is left rapidly crazy.

A party is set up to cater for those with more conservative and less open social views than the Conservative party...

Always bores me to hear the words “far right” used to describe national socialism and fascism, both of which have left wing policies. Indeed the National Front in Britain (what is left of it) is in favour of distribution of wealth, nationalisation of industries, etc,

I’m not saying that makes them any better, just far from far right.

As someone has said above, what is the Far Right?

There's not been a "Far Right" political party in the UK since the BNP.

UKIP, Brexit Party, Britain First and the EDL are in no way "Far Right" in the opinion of those who consider themselves of the "Far Right". Only those who see themselves of the Left consider these groups to be "Far Right".

One of the many reasons I chuckle to myself when I see the term. It's a lazy slur used to demonize the opposition be whom ever that is.

"Everyone I don't like is a Nazi" is a popular meme because it's so true.

The true "Far Right" in this country are non existent as a politcal party. It's existence is underground and online.

You say that but today a huge Brexit advocate in the form of Darren Grimes has supported a Tory stance (Tory Brexiteers may I add) of closing Parliament in order to deliver Brexit on their terms (that means nobody having any say but the people at the negotiating table). To shut down/bypass a democratically elected body in order to pass through a bill, let alone something as huge as Brexit is incredible comparable to the Nazi’s & their Enabling Act.

At the time it was passed, the Nazi’s held themselves as the voice of the people (the idea that they were at one with the people & the people were at one with them). The bypassing of any elected body ie parliament meant the Nazis were powered to do as they pleased, whether it was “the will of the people” or not.

Whilst these people say they arent Nazis & their voters say its a lazy slur, the similarities are there for all to see. The blaming of foreign entities, persecution of religion, the manipulation of voters & now the absurd idea of bypassing parliament.

Communism ends up doing much the same thing.

The dictatorship of the prolitariate has the state acting in the "best interests" of the people as they are one and the same. Apparently.

Thats why I think we need something to cause a political shift, Labour & Conservatives are rapidly falling out of favour & are effectively dividing themselves & cosying up to more hardened politics on either side, it does open up some ground for a more social focused politics, sadly though, Lib Dems sold their voters short once before

The 2 party system benefits a small political class oozing with elitist thought.

The minute MPs are put on minimum wage is the minute that this class will flee.

Did they? You seem to be making the same assumption that quite a few seem to make, that a vote for the LibDems is always a vote against the Conservatives. Where I live traditionally a vote for the LibDems is more often a vote against Labour and definitely not a vote against the Tories.

At the end of the day if you vote LibDem you have traditionally known that, if they have any say at all, they will exert their influence in partnership with either the Labour party or the Conservative party and hopefully moderate the excesses of either.

We make these analogies fairly simple but things aren't usually as simple as we'd like. By just using a 2 dimensional representation left-tight, it's already grossly simplified. These comparison perspectives though depend on your starting reference point - it's subjective.

When you are at Lands End, others seem to be north of you - as you move position, it's less clear. Just a 2D scale can't reflect the nuance that exists politically, though some form of continuum prevails.

Beware the black hole, with distortion and pull

"As someone has said above, what is the Far Right?

There's not been a "Far Right" political party in the UK since the BNP.

UKIP, Brexit Party, Britain First and the EDL are in no way "Far Right" in the opinion of those who consider themselves of the "Far Right". Only those who see themselves of the Left consider these groups to be "Far Right".

One of the many reasons I chuckle to myself when I see the term. It's a lazy slur used to demonize the opposition be whom ever that is.

"Everyone I don't like is a Nazi" is a popular meme because it's so true.

The true "Far Right" in this country are non existent as a politcal party. It's existence is underground and online.

You say that but today a huge Brexit advocate in the form of Darren Grimes has supported a Tory stance (Tory Brexiteers may I add) of closing Parliament in order to deliver Brexit on their terms (that means nobody having any say but the people at the negotiating table). To shut down/bypass a democratically elected body in order to pass through a bill, let alone something as huge as Brexit is incredible comparable to the Nazi’s & their Enabling Act.

At the time it was passed, the Nazi’s held themselves as the voice of the people (the idea that they were at one with the people & the people were at one with them). The bypassing of any elected body ie parliament meant the Nazis were powered to do as they pleased, whether it was “the will of the people” or not.

Whilst these people say they arent Nazis & their voters say its a lazy slur, the similarities are there for all to see. The blaming of foreign entities, persecution of religion, the manipulation of voters & now the absurd idea of bypassing parliament."

You may say that but when when we start comparisons to 1920's/30's Nazi Germany it is the left (Socialist workers, Momentum Etc.) who are more reminiscent of Hitlers SA (brownshirts) than anything on the right of British politics today.

Hitler came to power because he presented himself as the man of the people and raged against traitors within Germany who were impotently respecting the Treaty of Versailles and the parasites (rich Jews) who were stealing the wealth and assets of Germany and its people. His accusations and proclamations of National betrayal were music to the ears of Germans and Austrians who had endured 15 years of austerity since the end of WW1. It was all so simple in theory - end the national humiliation and make Germany great again.

Anyone who cannot see parallels in modern Britain is either blind or deluded.

Britain is in a very dangerous place right now and even today we have leading Conservative contenders claiming that they will end the national betrayal by leaving the EU in the most destructive way possible, closing Parliament and bypassing democratic scrutiny of need be.

Nigel Farage and the increasingly demented Tory Leadership hopefuls are ALL pursuing the election agenda that was successful for Adolf Hitler in 1933 - the parallels are obvious and the ingredients are all the same - National betrayal about an international treaty, blaming foreigners (be it immigrants or the EU) for the problems actually caused by a decade of austerity and the promotion really simple solution to put things right that is fundamentally flawed but music to the ears of those who just want simplicity.

I am really not sure that the "left" whoever they are are "Blaming the Rich, White Straight males etc" considering that the leading "leftist" leader in the UK is rich (relatively speaking), white and straight. I don't see anyone actually blaming straight, white males for anything - but I do perceive that a number of straight, white males feel that their self-importance is more relevant than anything else in the world. It actually has a name - it is called white privilege and it is borne of white exceptionalism.

In my opinion these suggestions of proroguing Parliament are the most worrying think I have ever heard from leading members of any political party ever. To allow the executive to force its interpretation of the 'will of the people' on to the country without the consent of the people's directly elected representatives would be a very dangerous precedent. That really would be the ultimate authoritarian dictatorship. The very idea that a single leader knows the 'will of the people' better than 650 directly elected members of parliament is the very antithesis of democracy.

But its ok for the speaker John Bercow (one man) to bend or break centuries of Parliamentary precedent to overturn or frustrate the democratic will of 17.4 million people who voted Leave in 2016 because it suits his and your remain agenda though, is that correct.

For 1 speaker and 650 MP's to block a vote to Leave and to think they know better than 17.4 million people, is the very antithesis of democracy.

I dont think you really understand what parliamentary sovereignty means do you? Have you not grasped the fact that MPs are not delegates, theyre representatives and that is an entirely different thing.

Bercow hasn't bent or broken Parliamentary precedent in order to do anything, that's just more BREXIT bull. The job of the speaker is to defend The House of Commons from the Crown and Ministers of The Crown and to ensure the the Crown and the Crown's Ministers rule within the will of Parliament.

1 speaker and 650 MPs (actually 1 speaker and 649 MPs) blocking a vote to Leave with 'no deal' is the very essence of a Parliamentary Democracy as the mandate from both the referendum and general election in 2017 was to 'Leave the EU with a deal better than we currently have'. So far no such deal has been put forward by any BREXITER whether from UKIP, BREXIT Party, Tories or Labour.

I really think that the response by many BREXITERS to this idea that we should suspend parliamentary democracy because they simply cannot come up with a decent plan to Leave the EU on the grounds they promised and in away that fulfills the mandate shows that BREXIT was never really about democracy or the return of sovereignty or control to our parliament. An unelected Prime Minister at the head of a minority Government forcing through a policy that no one has voted for is not democracy in any form.

I'm mocking the idea of White Privilege; there's discussions outside of Fab, and what I've seen from those who throw around White Privilege is that non Whites are set up to fail because they're not White.

White Privilege is this idea that White People in White countries are born with "invisable" benefits subconsciously given to them from society that Non Whites don't get thus putting them at an advantage in society.

It's attributing negative stigma onto group of people based purely on their skin colour which is racism.

Even if this was true, every group of people receives these benefits from their own countries. You're targeting a group of people based on their race negatively now if this was the other way round then it would most certainly be classed as racism.

The poster commented that “rich, white, straight males” were being targeted and blamed by “leftists.” You have somehow chosen to twist the answer given whilst not even acknowledging that equality should be the de facto normal in the UK, in Europe and indeed throughout the world.

Brexit is a symptom of English Exceptionalism, Trump is a symptom of white American exceptionalism - the language and the message is the same - fighting to get back something that is seemingly being lost because of multi-cultures/political correctness/immigration etc etc

“Rich, straight, white makes” are simply not being targeted - it is just that many seem to feel hard done by - so if it isn’t fighting for white privileged - what is it?

If there is going to be no such thing as equality, then there must be a list of privilege - who is at the top and who is at the bottom? Do we even accept that women are as worthy as men these days? Are Asian men above black women or below?

Truly, how can you not accept the concept of equality?

The poster commented that “rich, white, straight males” were being targeted and blamed by “leftists.” You have somehow chosen to twist the answer given whilst not even acknowledging that equality should be the de facto normal in the UK, in Europe and indeed throughout the world.

Brexit is a symptom of English Exceptionalism, Trump is a symptom of white American exceptionalism - the language and the message is the same - fighting to get back something that is seemingly being lost because of multi-cultures/political correctness/immigration etc etc

“Rich, straight, white makes” are simply not being targeted - it is just that many seem to feel hard done by - so if it isn’t fighting for white privileged - what is it?

Why do you hate Straight White Males?

"

Are you on something this morning? Why don’t you read the actual thread instead of creating your own hysteria.

A poster above suggested that “rich, straight, white males” were being targeted by leftists. They suggested that it was not actually the far right who who are currently following the same principles as the National Socialists did in 1933 Germany. No, they suggested that it was the left who were following on by targeting “rich, straight, white males.” This despite the leader of the UK’s main leftist party being relatively rich, white and straight.

The concept of equality is a social construct. In other words it's not found any where in nature so no I most definitely do not accept it.

Hierarchical societies on the other hand are found in nature.

Hierarchical societies have mostly worked for thousands of years, well enough for us to remain the dominant species on this planet anyways.

The idea that any two individuals are equal to one another is fantasy born out of pity.

Rich Straight White Males at the top!

The Owen Jones of the world right at the bottom

I am that same poster. So maybe take your own advice and read the thread.

No amount of head starts or hand outs are going to make individuals equal to one another.

The simply answer is this; What consenting adults do in the privacy of their own homes is not my concern nor should it be the governments.

You'd have to be a bit more specific as I'm not familiar with the current aims of the movement as it isn't an interest of mine.

As I see it; Equality is the utopian ideal that everyone should be given the same opportunities regardless of their differences be it biological, social, religious or cultural.

And that everyone should be treated the same under the law.

Do I adhere to the law at work? Depends if it's practical to the situation at hand. Health and Safety always suffers due to the impractical of some of the legislation.

Also the workforce is 99% White and male. No issues with equality laws.

Did I say that?

We should recognise that our world was built on practices we no longer recognise as being appropriate. And we have benefited from these practices. Possibly more than others.

Where I may feel uncomfortable is if this headstart is not just persisted, but exaggerated, because I'm given preference just because I'm white and male. I'm hugely lucky to be born into the western world and all its benefits. However they came about. But maybe I'd like to think my own success is because of me and my contribution. Rather than relying on previous generations pulling me along and I'm just riding their slipstream.

No one should be imprisoned for their sexuality. So that's my feelings on that, nor should they come to harm.

Slavery? A practice that's still ongoing which is shameful, everyone should be paid for their work and be able to provide for themselves.

No, I'm just privileged to have that information due to the position I am in at work. No disabled employees, unsure why but maybe because it's a fast paced heavy industry.

Hmmm someone needs to learn how to read because in regards to the sexuality comment I did say I know of these people personally.

And again with the ethnicity question, I don't walk around with my eyes closed while at work.

No shame in being a plumber if that's what you do. Don't worry kiddo

Your so funny, such a tough guy, so cute

It's nice that you feel the need to be in touch with your feminine side to appeal to the ladies...whatever works for you Bro. Be you.

Your funny , sis, I am sure the tough guy act hides your inner insecurities . "

I cried at Titanic...Bro that poor iceberg getting all the blame.

They don't make the far right like the used to.They seem to be getting more irrelevant daily.

They need a charismatic leader before obscurity beckons.

There's better sport elsewhere I find these days...

Irrelevant? That's why in nearly every thread there's this constant fear of the "far right".

Gone are the days of NF marches...oops sorry they were in London recently with the star of David flying

Yes irrelevant and I think the country weighed and measured them and found them lacking substance and character. How did your mate tommy and arzgon azkban do.Or the any other kippers.Theyve all dropped off the radar.

Unless you find a charismatic leader and unite under one banner its all over.

Dude even the greens are beating the AFD in Germany . It's all very amusing .Youll be fine .Fee hugs from bob

Free hugs are good hugs.

"Use far right ....to scare people ...they not far right ...just represent the majority ...."

So.... Why didn't the majority vote BP in Peterborough bi election?

Or are you talking about a different type of majority that is more Faragesque?
