... from 1 best (or: least bad, depending on your general opinion of these parties) to 9 worst (or: least good, depending on your general opinion), how would you rank the following Western European "far-right" (this doesn't apply to all of them, but whatever, for the sake of simplicity...) parties?

In totally random order:
UKIP (UK)
Sweden Democrats (Sweden)
Danish People's Party (Denmark)
PVV (Netherlands)
Front National (France)
Vlaams Belang (Belgium)
SVP (Switzerland)
FPÖ (Austria)
Finns Party (Finland)

As a general rule, European Conservatives and Reformists (like UK Conservatives) > Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy (like UKIP) > Europe of Nations and Freedom (like FN) > Alliance of European National Movements (like Jobbik). However, there's some overlap, like you picked perhaps the 2 of the worst members of European Conservatives and Reformists in the Finns Party and the Danish People's Party, both of which I think are clearly worse than UKIP, who is probably the most reasonable party in that list.

The worst is probably FPÖ, with SVP close behind. The least awful might be DFP after all, not that's saying much.

Still,

The FPÖ is hardly the worst, unless you think as "worst" in terms of getting the most support and being the most successful in turning their hate-preaching into actual votes.

Policy-wise they are not much different to the other far-right parties, or even less radical.

In terms of actual violence or attacks from their voters against others, they actually rank very low and parties like Jobbik, Golden Dawn etc. are way more violent and aggressive.

I'd rate the FPÖ somewhere in the upper tier of the worst parties, together with the FN - but not the worst.

Thanks for the serious reply, which I guess isn't normal anymore... I didn't add Jobbik/Golden Dawn/NPD, both because I find it impossible to choose which one is the worst (all of them should be banned) and because I think there's no comparison between these nazi parties and the abovementioned far-right parties.

My ranking:
1. SVP
2. DPP
3. UKIP
4. SD
5. Finns Party
6. PVV
7. FPÖ
8. Front National
9. Vlaams Belang

I personally very much find the FPÖ worst of all, as of two reasons. They receive regularly the largest share of votes of them all, and are in the process of getting into government as it seems; and secondly obviosuly because they plague my own country. The FN for example is never going to affect me in the way the FPÖ undoubtedly does and will continue to do, so obviously this makes them very bad, worst of that whole bunch, in my opinion.

The worst is Vlaams and FN, as well as the not mentioned Lega Nord. Then the PVV, Swedish Democrats, FPO and SVP all round things up. Last of all the DPP, then UKIP, then the Finns.

Half of these parties are barely related, some can't be described that fairly as far-right, some can't be so described when that term is a euphemism for 'fascist' (even if they do sometimes have such roots), etc.

But, damn, how times change. It was once the case that the Norwegian 'Progress' Party was always included in such lists. Seems they've been thrown down the memory hole, lmao.

There's nothing wrong at all with being intolerant of the civilization-destroying agenda that the left has been pushing on the Western world for decades.

I think that they may fail one criterion to be considered part of the "Western European far-right."

(Although admittedly, I'm not sure how a party from Finland would fit.)
