The same is happening in Sweden with the neo Nazi Sweden Democrats (disclaimer: they prefer being called "social conservatives" while simultaneously calling for the "deportation of asocial foreigners"). The only difference is, these ones have a plan, a really shitty one, and now by forming a bloc and becoming part of the government without any posts, they are effectively trying to apply each one of their weird proposals even though a number of them may require that they leave the EU. They think UK is doing a good job with immigration...

Whenever any nation wants to leave the EU, I immediately suspect they are up to a human rights violation.

Edit:typo

Lol, the UK are doing worse with immigration than before Brexit.

Some people really use any lies to make people support their outrageous claims like leaving the EU.

I wouldn't be surprised if Russia was helping behind the scenes with it, they want the EU to fail so they can conquer even more territories.

Russia know they can't fight NATO. So they make like-minded autocratic friends like Erdogan, Orban, Trump & try to soften NATO members' stance towards Russia. The hope is that some, if not all the major NATO member countries will self-radicalise & see nothing wrong with what Russia or China does. Clever & obviously working.
