Hard right is a political term used for political tendencies to the right of the mainstream right-wing and left of the far-right.
In the U.S. the term Hard right is often used to describe groups such as the Patriot movement and the Tea Party movement.[1][2] Features include Paleoconservatism, Christian theocracy and White nationalism.[3] It is said to be on the rise in response to the Obama presidency.[4]
In the U.K. the term Hard right is used to describe hard-line elements within UKIP[5] and elements within mainstream parties that favour a pro-business neoliberal agenda.[6] Elsewhere in Europe a range of populist anti-immigration groups are referred to as Hard right such as the AfD in Germany.[7]
