INTRODUCTION
The primary intention of essay is to move beyond approach that must provide brief idea
about far-right in Britain and France that still pose a threat to liberal democracy. In this report, it

Britain. It may include the ideological legacy in revolution of 1789. it will identify the British
national party and other nation front where both countries have also experienced about the failure
and success during 19th to 21th centuries. Furthermore, it will focus on the liberal democracy,
which experiences of consequences of world war in 1950 to 1970 ups to current time. It will

MAIN BODY
Throughout in 1990s, the far right underwent the resurgence at the time current success
of far political parties, climate of economic which have been addressed across continent. As per
Hungarian right party, 14 % of country vote occurs in 2009, while it also growing the European
elections approximately 17% in 2010 and translates to 866,000 votes and 48 seats (Wilkinson,
2019). Currently, in France, the front nation had success in gaining 19% of vote in 2012 on basis
of president election. On the other hand, BNP also gained more support to other MEP in 20019,
suddenly the far-right parties had linked to financial issues, crisis but Mathew Goodwin try to
acknowledge the condition, while crisis have contributed to situation where parties has able to
flourish.
Apart from that it has perceived threat of island which increase public anxiety and
weakening the bond between electorate and other mainstream parties. Everything happens due to
far right in Britain and France where it will increase the boost the power in countries which
effects on democratic nations. (Antonio, 2019). Afterwards, they have conducting to resurgence
instead it seems to operate perfect storm. While it seems that had increased majority of
contemporary right parties and develop situation of threats but this party still regards as
substantial through western democracy. In this way, it is very difficult to ascertain the nature of
threat and bring to democracy. It is predominantly few parties had a chance to return as part of
Europe government so as Italian social movement and other party had succeeds.
In this way, it can be determined that the largest threat of far right was European Liberal
democracies that come from indirect way to impact on the populist movement of society. it often

associated with disengaged electorate which offering another option. The parties were attracted
to the supporters across different continent (Sedgwick, 2019). The involvement of small parties
always influenced other electoral that even conduct different occasion but they don’t have won
specific seats. It directly impacts on the results and outcome of seat which has been substantial. It
has been considered as a threat to liberal democracy through far right in Britain and France.
During analysis, it has found that general election proves that it always influences over 228 seats
otherwise it has gone to centralised right party (Bonikowski, Halikiopoulou and Rooduijn, 2019).
It has an ability of populist parties that make proper use of social media along with declining the
overall country pride and increase rate of unemployment.
Since at the end of 1990, it extremely right parties have been played specific role in local
councils, governments and parliaments of many European countries such as France, Greece,
Italy. Each one has a share ERP in context of political power which impacts in both directly and
indirectly. It has a widely used to present as potential return and consider as “dark years” in
fascism. This type of concept is understandable in the political area and word changes not useful
for area of political, which have made increasingly difficult to determine the extreme right in
terms of contemporary but it is still apply the term of fascist (Pabst, 2019). It is a type of national
party which always try to change speeches, programme and share with other parties. In 2002, the
local candidates are elected through councillors and mayors in different cities. When it will
secure vote 17% at the time election of president in 2012. It is becoming third party of political
force in countries.
Therefore, it is very difficult to use the other characteristics for those parties, who are
under power todays. on the other hand, the evolution of ERP has been challenging concept in
terms of political and there is no surprise for nation. In this way, it explores the ideology of
British national part which are recently evolution political landscape, democratic values and
other main stream parties. These parties are focused on the democratic values for improving
confliction between one or more countries.
Far-right parties and other type of authoritarian that have succeed in gain more power at
national level.
The democracy legacy remains unable to articulate the powerful critiques in terms of
capitalism crisis in 2008. The crisis has forcefully affected on the states for decades that ruled by
military dictators such as Italy, Spain and Greece (Nebhan, 2019). It can happen in Britain and

France because of political issues occurs which directly affects on overall economic Condition.
These are never enjoyed the social force stabilising which provider by stated welfare government
and other relative Nordic nations. As per evidence, it can be identified crisis. At that time, social
democratic parties are changing their drastic budgets which have unceremoniously. In this way,
far right has not reach at the level but in presence of technocratic government which are majorly
play role to improve intense condition of crisis. Another way, its implication of authorities,
which conservation of economic implication. At end far parties have no another options to offers
different types of deflationary economic and dominants in the European government. The social
democrats always exposed in which far right create link to populist pitch by helbling and
claiming. The specific role of NGO play against the far-right parties while social democrats have
maintained responsibility due to their supports (Halikiopoulou, 2019). They have in different
cases which are given core concept on behalf of class. Undoubtedly this right parties always
share the common discursive element in Europe, they always influence the political main stream
in term of country basis. It is very important to properly recognise the salience of problem in
which far mobilises become uneven across the world. In 2011, social democrats the led of red
bloc coalition which are pledging instead of higher taxes and end the government wings (Lowe,
2019).
At initial glance, the extreme right ideology become easier as discourse to oppose values
of democratic and also against to parliamentarism, pluralism, freedom of speech and other
human rights. But in reality, these things are very complicated due to the reasons when it has
adopted their speech in part year through ERP and another use the see all issues that taken over
by main stream parties. It simply understands the gap between equal and extreme right which are
not clearly defined with concept of extreme right.
Apart from that without doubt, it has considered that elections served as important part of
far-right failure and success of France or Britain. Often landmarks break throughs through
different political parties that have put on wide range of audience. The elections of president in
France is most important occasions in order to achieve millions of votes and publicity in global
world. In 2002, French presidential election is mainly standing as a high-water mark of current
far right success across Europe. It enabling the president to select right leaders where direct
elections held by parliaments (Howse, 2019). In this way, it provides proper occasion for right
parties otherwise it will create confliction between the countries where generate threat for

democracies liberal. The proportional representing the vote system that applicable in Britain and
France which provided more scope for majority voting system in countries. This type of system
offers the right successes at regional and local polls. It also gaining more success that able to
exploit referendums. In this way, all political parties have covered the media and use as
disclosure in order to achieve successes. Elections always enabled to above all political parties
that attract with the level of supports and often breaking its stereotypes of far voter.
A simple lesson understand that votes won could become lost of votes, although different
participation of government and also conferred legitimacy in far right. In this way, it has brought
the issues and problem of anti-establishment parties and populist in terms of democracies liberty.
It concluded that the picture will create far right success in opposition and another one failure in
government. It might be described that how far right political parties will make transition from
another politics. In this way, it can increase the maximum vote to political office and very tough
to make important decisions.
CONCLUSION
In above discussion, it can be determined that far right in Britain and France still pose a
threat in term of liberal democracy because many far-right parties engaged with other nation to
increase problem and confliction which are directly affects on the liberal Democracy. It may be
impacts on both success and failure which depend on the relationship with other political parties
Furthermore, It has been summarised about the nature of far right in France and Britain, which
may include ideological legacy in revolution of 1789. it can be determined the British national
party and other nation front where both countries have also experienced about the failure and
success during 19th to 21th centuries, which experiences of consequences of world war and
further analyse between relative failure and success movements in terms of nation aspects.
