You've seen what happening in America? The British right and all the right will go behind the crazies.
Unlike the US though I don't see 50% of the voting population going to the far right. This would be the end of the Tories
50% voted to Leave the EU. Farage is seen more as the face of Brexit than the face of the Far Right. It's plausible.
People kind of forget that the left was split down the middle on the EU with many leftists wanting to have a similar relationship to the EU as Norway does.
You can argue that was naive, and for sure I'd say the majority of leave voters where not voting leave based on a socialist objection to the Capitalist EU; but there definitely was a large portion that did.
So it wasn't like 50percent of the country bought the extreme right coolaid.
I hate the politics is seen as two ends of a linear scale. Surely it is more like a 5D shape?

You might find this interesting. Politics taking into account economic scale and social scale. Much more accurate then "left or right"
