    European countries are democracies, so a politician just sets up a far right party with far right policies and asks the voters to vote for him.

    In France it is Jean-Marie le Penn, in Holland it is Geert Wilders. Some voters liked their message and voted for them giving them and their parties seats in parliament.

    There are similar parties in Britain, Sweden, Austria and other northern European countries. Most of them are very nationalistic and demonise foreigners which are often used as scapegoats for many of a country's woes.
