I'm talking about right wing on both social and eocnomic issues. Parties described as far right often tend to be moderate or even to the left on one, for example the FDP and most extreme free market parties are moderate to liberal on social issues, while those fascist parties that are popping up around Europe tend to be to the left on economics. The same is true for Islamist parties, obviously Hamas is pretty damn socially conservative, but that doesn't mean I can call them right wing.

I'm also only talking about serious parties that actually win seats, so you can forget the Constitution Party and Christian Heritage Party.

With those criteria, I vote for Chile's Independent Democrat Union.

Aren't those kind of leftist economically though? Even the DUP is fairly populist...

Either the Swiss People's Party, the Canadian Tories or that Chilean party you were talking about, that is if we're talking about leadership. For the bases, the Republicans get there too.

Especially the SGP is fun. They are against television, Catholics, abortion, pornography&prostitution, the European Union, active and passive voting rights for women (nevertheless they allow their own women to vote for them, the majority of SGP voters is female), working on Sundays, and large factions in the party are also against vaccinations and insurances.

The SGP website is closed on Sundays. Grin

So the women are voting for a party that wants to take away their power to vote?  How bizzare.

The Nats are socially very conservative but economically cover a very broad spectrum with anything doing with farms being the main point of agreement. The Liberals are economically quite right wing and socially mixed but mainly conservative, some of them very conservative.

Basically, the coalition is genuinely in the top-right corner as a whole, but i'm not sure just how high and how far right.

It is. Women are not even allowed to become a member of the party.

Some feminists didn't like that, and sued the SGP and the Dutch government. Now a court has decided that the government isn't allowed to pay the SGP the subsidy that every party in parliament receives to fund their employees. Because the SGP is not that big on a national scale, they received EUR 800,000 on a yearly basis.

The Conservative Party of Canada is not that right wing. It is to the left of the Democrats in the US.

No it's not. The old PC Party maybe was, but this one isn't.
If one doesn't count the health care issue, Stephen Harper is more conservative than Bush. The bases are more or less the same, though.
Ralph Klein is much more conservative than Bush.
The myth that the rest of the world's right wing parties are to the left of the democrats makes me so angry.

To call it one of "the most right wing part[ies] in the world" seems a little extreme.

Talk about not being pro-choice. Cheesy

But melikes the "website closed on sundays" part, and the being against television. Clearly they aren't all that rightwing. Wink

There isn't a lot to choose from.
Remember BRTD said it would have to be a party that was right wing both economically and socially.

Chileīs UDI is against the legalisation of divorce. But on the economy, as any party with serious intentions of fighting for a majority, is not THAT right wing. Certain people within the US Republican Party seem to the right on both issues, although (correct me if Iīm wrong) economically libertarian republicans and socially conservative republicans arenīt usually combined (ie, ultra-conservatives on social issues donīt generally believe in extreme laissez-faire economics).
