Does being for less immigration mean a party is inherently right-wing?

Sorry, but they're some of the worst examples to make the point imaginable. The Progress & People's parties are blatantly right-wing, with opposition to immigration just one facet of that platform, and the idea that Fortuyn or his predecessors are serious about protecting social liberalism from an influx of reactionary muslims is pretty laughable, and evidently just a smoke-screen to allow them to cloak their bigotry in a more palatable/respectable concern.

For my part, I don't regard those arguing for less immigration as inherently right-wing; it all depends on the context and the reasoning  - overstretched services, flooding labour market causing downward pressure on wages/workers' power are something we've seen in Britain, and the free movement of labour helps the capitalists enormously. Although, I'd want to be convinced they were internationalists before supporting them.

Oh f' off. The BNP spend 90% of their time ranting against Marxists, as I'm sure do their counterparts. Their support for socialism is as much that know they wouldn't stand a chance with attracting working class support if they dropped their welfare policies.

Prove it. I was just on the BNP site. Plenty about "muslim paedophiles", marxists not so much.

I'm not linking to the BNP, so Google 'site:[their website] marxists'. You'll find plenty of examples. 90% is an exaggeration, and obviously behind muslim paedophiles, but there's no doubt they'd be quick to round up marxists like their ideological fore-bearers had.

To take one example: from their article 'Who is To Blame?'

The British National Party are victims of, and not responsible for the inherent bias and corruption of the mass media and in particular the BBC that promoted all these acts of economic, social and cultural sabotage and socialist, Marxist terrorism against the British people.
