Why is there no MAGA like party in the U K?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

France has the National Rally which is a French MAGA like party. It seems every liberal democracy has far right parties but only in ours and France do these far right parties actually yield real power.

1. Aren't they called the Tories?

[VMA131Marine]

2. They are the Tories.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. The Tories are pro marriage equality, pro- choice, believe in climate change .

Don't try to disenfancchise huge swaths of voters. The G O P is much closer to France's National Front.

3. The Tories, or at least some of them.

They have plenty of their own Nazi-adjacent characters.

4. British people tend to be more reserved.

I doubt they’d make fools of themselves like ours do even if they support some of their beliefs.

5. Brexit came about because of whoever they are. Same breed.

[Initech]

20. Yup, same as France's Yellow Vests, Turkey's Erdogan party, so on and so forth.

Some truly dark forces in the world propping this shit up.

21. Putin wants to break up the EU. Based on who's been backing Calexit & similar stupid ideas in USA...

… (from Russia, with love) I think Putin would love to see the US break up, too.

[Initech]

22. Well these clowns that he's installing in our nation's school boards may accelerate the process.

And city councils, state senates, and so on. Pretty sure Boebert and Greene are on his payroll too.

7. UK

The tories, also known as the Conservative Party, are not far right, in the US, they would match the policies of traditional republicans. But the far right is represented in the UK by a party called “Patriotic Alliance”, though they are not large.

8. Larry Hogan, Charlie Baker, and Susan Collins would be Tories.

9. The National Front?

Aren't they still around?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

10. In France.

As the other poster said there is a MAGA like party in the UK but it's small. Unfortunately we and France have popular far right parties that can win elections.

11. UK has more than 2 parties, protected from 1 side monsters?

[Frasier Balzov]

12. These guys.

14. But they are small

[Effete Snob]

16. And loud

Their influence exceeds their number.

[muriel_volestrangler]

18. Small now, but won the most votes in the 2014 EU elections

Thus influencing the decision to hold the Brexit referendum.

In 2009, the openly-racist "British National Party" - BNP - won 2 seats in the EU election, with 6.2% of the vote.

19. I appreciate your point but MAGA Republicans elected a president.

I don't know much about Liz Truss but I rather live under her rule than the rule of Donald Trump.

[Effete Snob]

13. Yes there is - UK Independence Party (UKIP)

Same thing. That's Nigel Farage's bunch, who were among the coalition pushing Brexit.

Nativist, racist, nationalist, the whole nine yards.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_Independence_Party

The UK Independence Party (UKIP /ˈjuːkɪp/) is a Eurosceptic, right-wing populist political party in the United Kingdom. The party reached its greatest level of success in the mid-2010s, when it gained two members of Parliament and was the largest party representing the UK in the European Parliament.

24. +1000

15. Just remember

Tories are still to the left of the insanity we have deal with on the other side of the spectrum here.

[Texasgal]

17. There are!

Brexit weirdos!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

23. But they are small in number.
