No. There are some similarities, but the parties platforms are too different, especially on fiscal policy to consider them different versions of each other.

Yes and no. They go after another segment of the population, BNP/EDL voter segment was too large degree working class, UKIP go after the conservative middle class. As such they have adapted their non-immigration and non-EU policies to reflext this. Of course their opinions on immigration and EU are the same, but they use rhetoric and methods which their voter segment find fitting.

No. It's to the right of the centre-right, that's not the same as far right.

Guess it's a question of perspective & choice of narrative method ...

... and that, by the way, is also one of the reasons why none of Eric Hobsbawm's books has been turned into a succesful Broadway musical so far.
