Under the influence of democratic political system,traditional cultural atmosphere and other factors,the development of far-right parties in Europe has profound historical roots,which can be traced back to the end of the first word war.However,given the extremely tragic history of the second world war,mainstream political parties and people of all classes in Europe have maintained vigilant resistance to far-right parties for a long time,making them excluded from mainstream governments for a long period of time.With the progress of the times,far-right political parties in Europe show different development states in different historical stages,and can be divided into different types according to their radicalization degree or geographical range.But whatever the far-right party is,its nationalism,exclusivity and the nature of its anti-democratic politics are not going to change,so it can be defined by the idea of an opening to the far-right party.In recent years,European countries have not completely got rid of the bondage of the European debt crisis,but instead fell into the mire of the refugee crisis.In addition,during this period,extreme terrorist incidents occurred frequently,Britain left the European Union,the process of European integration was blocked and other accidents impacted the strength of far-right political parties rapidly.Especially since the second half of 2015,the Middle East and north Africa region is affected by factors such as war and terrorism to produce a large number of refugees,and the European countries generally adopted high welfare system,and always adhere to the humanitarian policy of looser tolerance refugees,this will not doubt attract large influx of refugees and make European countries their focus for help.With the influx of a large number of refugees,the financial burden of European countries has intensified,the shortage of employment and housing resources,the constant cultural conflicts,rampant terrorist forces,social unrest and other problems keep emerging.Mainstream political parties have been overwhelmed for a while,and the public is very dissatisfied with this,creating opportunities for far-right political parties to break through the constrains of mainstream institutional forces.Therefore,the refugee crisis hasbecome a direct trigger for the development of far-right political parties.Generally speaking,the development and growth of a political party cannot be achieved without the promotion of both subjective and objective factors,and far-right parties are no exception.The above problems obviously belong to the objective environmental factors that influence its development,but the subjective initiative of far-right parties themselves cannot be ignored.They timely adjust the political participation mode,actively participate in parliamentary elections,crate a more moderate and neutral image in front of voters,weaken the fascist color of their ideology to win more public support and strive for a legitimate position in the European political field.Under the combined action of subjective and objective factors,far-right political parties in Europe have indeed achieved certain political results,which has set off a right-leaning upsurge in European countries and even the international community.At the European level,the development of far-right political parties not only weakens the voter base of mainstream political parties in various countries,but also changes their attitude towards refugees,constantly erodes mainstream political ideas,undermines social security and stability,and intensifies political divisions within European countries and even the eu.In addition,as a typical representative of the global right-leaning forces,the development of far-right parties in Europe is bound to play a leading role in promoting the return of the global right-leaning forces.Though as the reality to see Europe,far-right parties really has the possibility of continued development in a short time,but it inevitably will be affected by the traditional political system and the electoral system constraints,as well as from across Europe to suppress the mainstream political parties,public opinion,and exist in its own inherent limitation,so the far-right parties in the future of European society will go is still in an uncertain situation.In any case,according to the current European countries and parliamentary elections,mainstream parties still occupy the dominant position in European politics,and far-right parties have not yet developed to the level of parity with mainstream parties.
