Front National leader Marine Le Pen says she is very happy the British people held on and made the right choice to leave EU
Europes far-right parties hailed the UKs vote to leave the European Union as a victory for their own anti-immigrant and anti-EU stance and vowed to push for similar referendums in their own countries.
Frances Front National (FN) saw it as a clear boost for Marine Le Pens presidential bid next year and momentum for the partys anti-Europe and anti-immigration line.
The Dutch far-right and anti-immigration leader Geert Wilders called on Friday for a referendum on the Netherlands membership of the European Union.
In Germany, Beatrix von Storch, an MEP for rightwing populist party Alternative für Deutschland, who was recently expelled from the Tories party group in the European Parliament over her shooting refugees comments, welcomed the result.

practically every European country has an anti-EU movement. Most, but not all, are on the far-right.

That's a possibility.

(35,699 posts)9. The UK has always been a bit of a special case.
They kept their own currency instead of adopting the Euro. And in fact they were rather late to the game, declining to sign the Treaty of Rome in 1957 but then ironically the UK tried to get into the European Economic Community twice but was vetoed by the French - mostly because of Charles de Gaulle. The UK was finally admitted in 1973 after Charles de Gaulle was out of the picture. De Gaulle thought the UK was too insular to be part of the EU. Maybe he was correct after all.
