You have to distinguish between two strands of the far right. On the one hand you have the comic-book Fascists who like Seig Heiling and bullying Muslim women in the street. They have had very little electoral impact in their own right but their posturing and bullying can intimidate people and prevent proper political discourse. Most importantly, they complement the other strand, the neoliberals. They are just as hostile to democracy but they are smart enough to use it and corrupt it rather than destroy it completely. They have been very good at it too. But, as Richard Murphy correctly points out, we've now entered a very dangerous phase where the violent and potentially violent strand is learning to make use of the system too. I don't think they'll have much electoral impact but if the so-called respectable right (Labour, the Tories and the Lib Dems) keep triangulating to head them off, they will achieve a lot of their aims anyway.
