The far right right make gains when the left are weak.

During the decline of the French Communist Party in the 1980's the French National Front took an incredible number of votes from the "far-left" organisation.
The same is true of the Serbian Socialist Party, where Chetnik Nationalists absorbed the hatred of working class Serbs over the Balkanisation of Yugoslavia.

In Britain we now have an incredibly weak and ideologically bankrupt far-left-party (the SWP), and a growing militant far-right (BNP) taking votes in former Labour areas.
I hope that somebody else is making the connection, because it is quite disturbing to observe the growth of the far-right whilst the SWP slime up to Muslims and the Anarchists slime up to feminists and animal-rights protestors!
In Comradeship,
