-Slovakia:Slovak Nationalist Party (Slovenská národná strana, SNS)
Results of the general elections to Slovak parliament
In the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovak_parliamentary_election%2C_2006 - parliamentary election of 17 June 2006 , the party won 11.6% of the popular vote and 20 out of 150 seats. http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en-commons/thumb/1/1d/300px-Mlodziez_wszechpolska.jpg --Bulgaria:Bulgarian National Patriotic Party (Balgarska Nacionalna-Patrioticna Partija)
National Movement for the Salvation of the Fatherland (Nacionalno Dviženie za Spasenie na Otecestvoto)
Union of Patriotic Forces and Militaries of the Reserve Zashtita (Sajuz na Patrioticnite Sili i Voinite ot Zapaca Zacšita)
*All three Bulgarian Parties are part of the National Union Attack (Nacionalno Obedinenie Ataka) that won at the last http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legislative - legislative http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_Bulgaria - elections , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_25 - 25 June http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005 - 2005 , 9.0 % of the popular vote and 22 out of 240 seats.
-Romania:The Greater Romania Party (Partidul România Mare, PRM)
-Germany:National Democratic Party of Germany (Nationaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands, NPD)
*Most recently, after making large gains in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the party now has 6 seats in the Landtag (state parliament).
-Belgium:Vlaams Belang (Flemish Interest)
*The Vlaams Belang took part in the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgian_municipal_elections%2C_2006 - 2006 municipal elections on the theme of "Secure, Flemish, Liveable."
In http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antwerp - Antwerp , the Vlaams Belang lost out to the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Party_-_Different - Socialist Party at the municipal level, although for all districts, except for Center and Borgerhout, the VB showed an increase of its voters share. In two districts, Hoboken and Deurne, VB enjoys a plurality; in the former district, the other parties will have to work together with the marxist-leninist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workers_Party_of_Belgium - Workers Party (PVDA) in order to obtain a majority in the district council, although another party, the N-VA, has ruled out such a coalition. In the rest of Flanders, the Vlaams Belang, like the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD%26V - CD&V , enjoyed a massive increase of votes (the number of VB council members almost doubled, from 439 to about 800). In http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aalst - Aalst and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schoten - Schoten , Vlaams Belang enjoys a plurality. Although it is unlikely that any party in these or other cities will break the cordon sanitaire. In 1999, the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlaams_Blok - Vlaams Blok obtained 584,392 votes for the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Parliament - European Parliament elections. In 2004, the party obtained 930,731 votes. -Austria: Austrian Freedom Party (Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs, abbreviated to FPÖ)Election results (1956-2006)
Alliance for the Future of Austria (Bündnis Zukunft Österreich or BZÖ)
*BZO is an http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austria - Austrian political party founded by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B6rg_Haider - Jörg Haider , his sister http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursula_Haubner - Ursula Haubner , and other leading members of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_Party_of_Austria - Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_4 - April 4 , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005 - 2005 . This resulted in the split of the Freedom Party, the future prospects of which seemed very uncertain for a time. Since the BZÖ has fared very badly in the state elections it participated in, most commentators believe that it will disappear after the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austrian_legislative_election%2C_2006 - 2006 elections . Preliminary results from that election shows, however, that the party has secured eight seats in the Austrian parliament.
-Sweden:The National Socialist Front (Nationalsocialistisk front, abbreviated NSF)
The party ran for the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Municipal_council - municipal council elections in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karlskrona - Karlskrona in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002 - 2002 , but only attracted 0.5% of the votes which was not sufficient for a mandate. In 2006 the party entered the elections at a national level. There they gathered 1417 votes, or 0.03% (in order to enter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riksdag - Riksdagen - the national parlament - a party needs at least 4% or roughly 220,000 votes). The party had the most success in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trollh%C3%A4ttan - Trollhättan , where they received 208 votes or 0.65%, although it wasn't enough to enter the " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kommunfullm%C3%A4ktige - kommunfullmäktige " ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_council - city council ). Still, 2006 was their best election year in the party's history. The National Democrats (Nationaldemokraterna)
It is supported by some 0.1% of the electorate but has managed to gain representation in two municipalities south of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm - Stockholm in 2002.
-Great Britain:The British National Party (BNP)
*National parliament
In the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_general_election%2C_2005 - 2005 General Election , the British National Party stood 119 candidates across England, Scotland and Wales. Between those candidates the BNP polled 192,850 votes, gaining an average of 4.2% across the several seats they stood in, and 0.7% nationwide - a 0.5% rise from the 2001 election. In those seats which the BNP stood in they were the 4th largest party. However, they did not stand nationwide, meaning that their national share of the vote was substantially lower than other minor parties and exit poll predictions of 3%. General election performance of BNP
The BNP has used various http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_organisation - front organisations to give the impression of wider support for its activities, and in an attempt to access potential supporters. By their very nature, front groups are usually denied as such by both the organizations behind them and the groups themselves, so any attempt to identify them is a matter of judgement. Nevertheless, there is evidence (usually in the form of common organizers) that the following operate as BNP fronts:
Unlike the above groups, which purport to be independent, the following organisations are officially linked to or part of the BNP:
Organizations:The Young BNP
Its leader, up until November 2002, was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Collett - Mark Collett . He appeared in an episode of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_Brand - Russell Brand 's 2001 TV documentary series http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RE:Brand - RE:Brand discussing his role. Collett was sacked from his position after a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_4 - Channel 4 television programme secretly filmed him declaring his admiration for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler - Adolf Hitler and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulster_Defence_Association - UDA paramilitary http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Adair - Johnny Adair . -Hungary:The Hungarian Justice and Life Party (Magyar Igazság és Élet Pártja, in short: MIÉP)
In http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005 - 2005 , MIÉP joined forces with a newer, right-wing political party, namely the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movement_for_a_Better_Hungary - Movement for a Better Hungary . The new political formation has been registered under the name the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MI%C3%89P-Jobbik_Third_Way_Alliance_of_Parties - MIÉP-Jobbik Third Way Alliance of Parties and it purports to speak for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity - Christians , stands up for the rights of Hungarian minorities in the neighbouring countries and boasts a "law and order" agenda, in order to crack down on crime. Parliamentary representation
At the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legislative - legislative http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_Hungary - elections in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998 - 1998 the party won 5.5% of the votes and gained http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliament - parliamentary representation, with 14 seats.
At http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_parliamentary_election%2C_2002 - the last legislative elections , April 7 and 20, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002 - 2002 , the party won 4.4% of the popular vote and no seats. -Switzerland:Swiss Democrats (Schweizer Demokraten, Démocrates Suisses, Democratici Svizzeri)
At the last http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legislative - legislative http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_Switzerland - elections , 19 October 2003, the party won 1.0% of the popular vote and 1 out of 200 seats. Many of the party's members are former http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_People%27s_Party - Swiss People's Party members that are disappointed about the light neoliberal swing in the SVP.
The Swiss People's Party (SVP) also known as the Democratic Union of the Centre ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_language - German : Schweizerische Volkspartei, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_language - French : Union Démocratique du Centre, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_language - Italian : Unione Democratica di Centro, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romansh - Romansh : Partida Populara Svizra) The SVP is strongest in German-speaking areas of Switzerland and after the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003 - 2003 general election is the largest party in the Swiss lower house of parliament with 55 out of 200 seats. Its party chair is http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ueli_Maurer&action=edit - Ueli Maurer . It is a member of the governing coalition and has two members on the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Federal_Council - Swiss Federal Council , former http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_the_Confederation - President of the Confederation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Schmid - Samuel Schmid and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christoph_Blocher - Christoph Blocher .
At the expense of the major parties of the centre, the SVP has greatly increased its voter support in the last decades and presently holds roughly 25% of the national vote. In the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_elections%2C_2003 - 2003 elections , its ascendancy to the strongest party in Parliament led it to demand an additional seat on the Federal Council at the expense of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Democratic_People%27s_Party_of_Switzerland - Christian Democrats (now the weakest of the parties in the governing coalition) and threatened to go into opposition if it didn't get it. Finally, Blocher was elected to the council, replacing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Metzler-Arnold - Ruth Metzler-Arnold . In 2003, it held 55 mandates (out of 200) in the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_National_Council - Swiss National Council (first chamber of the Swiss parliament); 8 (out of 46) in the second chamber and 2 out of 7 mandates in the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Federal_Council - Swiss Federal Council (executive body). By 2005, it held 23.3% of the seats in the Swiss http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cantonal_parliaments&action=edit - Cantonal parliaments and 15.8% in the Swiss http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cantonal_governments&action=edit - Cantonal governments (index "BADAC", weighted with the population and number of seats). This gap has been explained because of many cantonal party sections being young and not counting on experienced personnel for governments, and furthermore because of the pronounced positions of the People's Party in many Swiss cantons. Polls also predict that the SVP will stay the largest party in the Swiss National Council in the next election. ------------- "There are worse crimes than burning books.

Why is France not included, Le Pen is on track for a great pollitical campain according to his cronies 
BNP isn't a big problem in the UK, its very "fringe", has no wide-spread apeal or media-backing.
I never knew it was an issue in Poland?
I don't understand Russian Neo-Nazi's either, how do they justify their views, Hitler viewed Slavs as inferior people and was on a campaign to slaughter them, however, today some Russian extremists think of him as a Hero. ------------- “What we do for ourselves dies with us.

France?I did not think about it. Generally,it would bevery naive not to worry about these parties and their youth organizations ,even in Britain.The fact that they have voters,even a few,is quite dangerous.Moreover,today they have few votes,tomorrow they will have more.And for the most parties,the latest elections were in fact very positive .Some have sits in Parliaments,while others have representatives in the local goverments.And this is not good.------------- "There are worse crimes than burning books.

Well It is not about Hitler. The Russian Neo Nazis have slogan "Russia is for Russians". So they are basically against all ethnic minorities in Russia and against imigrant workers from Central Asia and Caucasus. Some of their groups are even attacking foreign students with non-Russian features, and you know some have died, while majority end up heavliy beaten.

But how can they associate themselves with Nazi's? there forefathers fought against Nazi's and suffered as Slavs at the hands of them just because they were Slavs.
The Russian federation includes areas such as Tataristan, Baskurdistan, Daghestan, Chechneya etc etc its Russian policy to keep them a part of Russia they arn't ethnic Russian so this form of ethnic Russian nationalism seems pretty self-destructive for Russia. ------------- “What we do for ourselves dies with us.

I have seen one on TV who said something like Hitler's only mistake was that he didn't recognize that Russians are aryan, too. Too bad the interviewer wasn't competent enough to tell him that Hitler's views were well in line with contemporary (and prbly more current) race - theory: that Russians are no more than F****NG HALF-MONGOLS!!!
 Alright, at least that would have had some potential for interesting further discussion.

"I don't understand Russian Neo-Nazi's either, how do they justify their
views, Hitler viewed Slavs as inferior people and was on a campaign to
slaughter them, however, today some Russian extremists think of him as
a Hero." A documentary i saw showed a Russian neo-nazis ritual of entrance to one of these groupings. They drank from both the Red Army and a Wehrmacht helmet. They said something in the lines that during WW2 a terrible tragedy happened when two "bretheren nations" sadly fought against eachother (likely blamed it on a Jewish plot), but now they could join and cleanse Europe. ------------- There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible than a man in the depths of an ether binge... |

Only an arrogant mind could think that people would throw away all their culture and customs to become someone else. Only a racist mind could think that people retaining their culture is bad thing. Only an ignorant mind fails to understand how much local culture will have been added to the old culture. Pity there are too many ignorant, arrogant, racists. ------------- |

The Russian neo-Nazi movement must be the one of the biggest ironies of history...They are expanding to a large extend every year... Racism in Russia is out of hand...If you have European look, The Russians welcome you and help you with heart. I was in Russia, and The Russian people were so nice to me (I'm a Turk).but a Krgyz friend fo mine told me that he and his friends were always discriminated whenever they went to Russia. What is more, a Russian girlfriend of mine told me that in her city, St.Petesburg, black guys were always irritated and sometimes even beaten up by Russian men. ------------- ARDA:The best Turkish diplomat ever! |

I don't think that Styrbiorn meant intergarion to be the same as assmilation... I do not at all think people have to assimilate, many cultures are good. But the problem in amny countries in Europe is that for a long time, absolutely nothing was done to bring people together.
A lot of immigrants, mostly those who came to work here in the 70ies, were discouraged to learn Dutch and integrate, even though many wanted to, because the plan was for them to go back. But they did not go back but brought over their families. At this point, the government should have made it possible for them to access society, but this did not happen. So now these groups have grown into tight communities who view the world around them as hostile and who cling to a culture which in their country of origin has moved on and evolved, but which stayed the same in these isolated groups.
To put it bluntly, the Moroccan community in the Netherlands still lives in the 60ies and 70ies, even though Morocco itself moved on... I once met a Moroccan girl from England, who told me she was glad she did not live in the Netherlands Moroccan community. She had cousins here and she always noticed how restricted and old-fashioned they were compared to those living in England.
This is not a matter of cultural genocide, it is a matter of bringing a group of people who are alienated from the rest back into society... -------------

hahah but ofcorse nationalism will raise slowly... just look at everything
this situation has been happening since the 1990 when the soviet domination was demolished and all the peoples underneath this regime started to search for their national identity.
Poland, slovakia, czech republic, ukraine belorus all had nationalistic campains in order for the people to find themselfs...
in "yugoslavia" i belive there was a different story...
when everything started to separate and fall apart, nationalism that had been building for quite some time bursted out in forms of violance...
we saw the radical Serb movement of "All serbs in one nation" gallop all over central "yugoslavia" fuled specificly by a nation who whanted to be nationalist but the only way they could acheve it in their eyes, meaning the eradication or desplacment off all thats not serb...
but its not that simple... the serbs are not the only ones to blame... the croatians and their way of "defending the homeland" whent loose and from defending croatia it all transfered into rampaging and extermination of all that was non croatian... but it doesnt end there
the bosnian muslims (bosniaks) defending their teritory and whit no proper bkg they can turn on ... they chose their religeus belifes to guid them... this led to a form of jihad which compleated the triangle of the bosnian war... where everyone was fighting everyone...
this only happend because of nationalism, that whent beserk when moral, ethical and writen laws failed to protect the integrety of a divers nation ... in other words people wore not prepered for nationalistic taughts and they "OD'd" on it.
same happend to the albanians in the neighbouring albanian countries. Albanians given the new democratic system they turened on claiming rights... when democracy failed them and their dreams wore shattered they turned offencive and in expantion...
RESOULT: they turned like this because they wore not repered for democracy, and they thought this was the answer to everything, when it failed them they turened demoicracy against everyone else.
and the most recent but not so dramatic was the seperation of serbia and montenegro... where nationalism split the union ... meaning nationalism is present...
now this might only be the troubled balkans but im shore this in one form or another is happening all over europe...
[if anyone can, pls add something]
Thank you.

| The fall of socialism is definitely one of the more important factors. Just compare East and West Germany. I don't really know why, but I think Socialist regimes often had a certain nationalist tendency. And they certainly didn't discuss the problem of extreme nationalism as much as the west did. And of course in socialist countries, there were rather few foreigners around, and if they were, they were rather separated from the rest of the population |
