> hard-right politicians in the Conservative Party and Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party.

It’s an interesting article, but there are no hard-right politicians in either of those parties, unless you consider everyone right of Tony Blair to be a borderline fascist.

What would be hard right if not the nationalist brexit party

Compared to what? The Brexit Party has several ex-members of the Revolutionary Communist Party.

They are, bizarrely, hard-right these days; they pivoted straight round the horseshoe in the mid-90s. Claire Fox is now a baroness, which tells you exactly how revolutionary or communist she is.

Ok. So what would constitute as hard/far left?

Under your definitions' it seems like being a nationalist (believing in the nation-state and sovereignty) & white supremacy are synonymous — which obviously they are not, unless you are suggesting all nationalists are racist or something.

The people left of the Green party, or left of Corbyn.

The communist party, Socialist Labour Party (borderline), Respect. The people advocating a ban on eating meat, private cars etc.

Could you highlight some current Tory policies you consider “hard right”?

This hard right party managed to get a vaccine program started while the left wing EU were quibbling over details.

Thank God for hard right parties.

If efficiency is your main concern, I would suggest you to live a dictatorship. They tend to be much more efficient than democracies.

How is the EU left wing? Most governments in the EU are conservative and so is the head of the EC.

Will just "right wing" then be a good way to describe most EU governments, or "soft right wing"?
