far right
Political spectrum's edge
The far right denotes the most conservative or reactionary end of the political spectrum, typically characterized by ultranationalism, opposition to immigration, and rejection of egalitarian social movements.
The term often implies positions beyond mainstream conservatism: Far-right parties gained seats across Europe.
Critics sometimes apply it broadly to discredit opponents, while adherents may reject the label entirely.
