Derkach, M.A. Electoral results of the European Right-wing Radical parties in the second half of XX and early XXI centuries

Abstract: The object of this study involves electoral results of the European Right-wing Radical parties since the 2nd half of XX century to the current time. The article singles out both the periods of active growth of popularity of the Right-wing Radical parties, and the periods of consolidation of their support by the electors. While following the statistical results of the ultra-Right-wing parties since 1950s, one may clearly see when the strengthening the Right-wing Radical forces started in the European political arena, how fast it had developed and to discover the periods, when their popularity lessened. Graphic visualization of this process allows to see whether growing popularity of the ultra-Right-wing parties in Europe is a permanent process, or not. In this article using historical and comparative methods, statistical method, the author provides a complex analysis of the results of participation of the Right-wing radicals in the parliamentary elections in the Western and Eastern European state. The author draws a conclusion that the tendency for strengthening of domestic political positions of the Right-wing Radicals in the Western Europe is comprehensive, and it involves more and more states. On the opposite, there is no tendency for the strengthening of the Right-wing Radical parties in the Eastern Europe. In most of the Eastern European states fast growth of popularity of the Right-wing Radical organizations is followed by a fast downfall.
