The main representation of the UK in the EU parliament was from UKIP, a nationalistic political party that formed a grouping with other nationalists.
By leaving, the UK has reduced the size of that nationalistic group.

Are you in the UK? I find this a rather peculiar view.

When was the last time you read about the BNP or Combat18? UKIP has gone. Where is the political party that is far right?
So the really hard right is diminished, but that's arguably because the pretty hard right took on its rhetoric on immigration and is currently in power.

The Conservatives are "pretty hard right"?

The benefit of UK in Europe was that it helped curtail the exscesses of the continent. I worry for the EU now as it seems more toxic after Brexit than before.
