Who are the right wing parties in the European Parliament?

Question

I'm interested in reading up on the main right wing parties within the European Parliament, so who are they?

Answer 1

The European People's party is the biggest right wing party

although I should probably note that while they are right of center in the European context and do have the English Conservatives and Italian rightists many of the member parties in central Europe, countries like Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany are definitely more middle of the road,  most American conservatives would not consider them right wing. On ethical issues American conservatives find allies here but their economic program is nothing like the American right would like, there they are middle of the road and that in the European sense

Then there is the European Liberal Democrats.

Liberals are in general right wing in Europe. Certainly in the economic sense their liberalism is classical liberalism which bares little resemblance to American liberalism.

They're the party of low taxes, less entitlement spending, that kind of talk but on the ethical issues they are more liberal. They are in a way comparable to American libertarians although their economic program is far less extreme.

The hard right which would probably interest you most, the closest to American conservatives although there are very important differences, had its group disolved in 2007 after infighting.

so those parties represent their home parties now alone. The British national Party, the French Front National and the Belgian Flemish Interest are some examples. Their main difference with the American right is their roots in n**i colaboration and that their rethoric is restrained by strict laws on rascism and so on. There might be people there who think kinda like you and their official program isn't that far from republicans but within they have rascists like the KKK, holocaust deniers even, tryijng to stay within the boundaries of the law by keeping silent on how they really feel.   In the USA KKK people or holocaust deniers don't have to hide, they can be as rascist openly as they want without facing prosecution, and thus mix with decent far right folks. They are very prolife and low taxes
