Enlargement and the Right-Wing Parties The negative aspects of the Enlargement are brought to the electorate by the new right wing parties. What do the right wing parties stand for?  Anti- Immigration and anti EU  Nationalism and xenophobia  Traditional values of the society

A list of right-wing parties in Western Europe Austria: Freedom Party Belgium: National Front, Flemish Block Denmark: Progress Party France: National Front Germany: German People’s Union Italy: Lega Nord, Tricolor Flame Netherlands: Pim Fortuyn List Spain: National Alliance, National Union UK: UK Independence Party

Right-Wing Parties and Immigration Front National: ‘At the origin of most of most of the problems of our country for the last thirty years there has been a menacing immigration policy that has been perpetuated by successive governments.’ EP elections: 2009: 6.3; 2004: 10%; 1999: 5.7 UKIP: We will freeze immigration for five years, speed up deportation of up to a million illegal immigrants by tripling the numbers engaged in deportations, and have ‘no home no visa’ work permits to ease the housing crisis.’ EP elections: 2009: 16%; 2004: 16%; 1999: 7%
