Study: Far Right Growing Fast in Europe

They may come in all shapes and sizes, but almost all of them really aren't too keen Muslims and immigrants.

A new study conducted by a British thinktank called Demos has found that right-wing, nationalist groups and political parties are growing across Europe. Though they took on a range of issues, the most common element amongst them was an increasing concern about immigrants and a rise of anti-Muslim sentiment. In a Facebook study that involved 450,000 hardline nationalists, Demos found that a majority were young, male, and disproportionately unemployed. They also found that these parties had a significantly greater online popularity than actual voters at recent elections, with only 67 per cent of Facebook fans actually casting ballots for the parties in question.
