Hard right is a political term used to describe political tendencies to the right of conservatism, opposed to immigration, strongly nationalist, in favour of low taxation and often sceptical of climate change.[1]

In the U.S. the term Hard right is often used to describe groups such as the Patriot movement and the Tea Party movement.[2][3] Features include Paleoconservatism, Christian theocracy and White nationalism.[4] It is said to be on the rise in response to the Obama presidency.[5]

In the U.K. the term Hard right is used to describe hard-line elements within UKIP[6] and elements within mainstream parties that favour a pro-business neoliberal agenda.[7] Elsewhere in Europe a range of populist anti-immigration groups are referred to as Hard right such as the AfG in Germany.[8]
