Simply to use it as a label ! Proven as the most effective method of shutting down reasoned debate . Give someone a label and say "I'm not talking to you cos you're a .....ist" . Easy .

Labelling is useful for identification, Reynard.

All politicians adopt popular policies, to make themselves popular.

Far is defines as extreme . Just because an individual is more 'right' than , say for example , a moderate conservative it doesn't automatically suggest that their views are extreme . It simply means that their views differ from the mainstream conservative policy (whatever that is) .

Put simply : If the conservatives are , on a scale of 1-10 (where 'Nazi' = 10) of 'rightness' a 3 , for example , somebody who holds an opinion that is further to the right may be a 4 or a 5 or a 6 . You can't just assume they are a 10 without having a reasoned debate regarding their views . But rather than have a reasoned and rational debate they are automatically given a 10 and castigated before they can express their opinion !

I never fort jacobs biskit was a corbyn boy but you get learnt something every day

UB I have told you that far right is often associated with fascism, racism and Nazism. Is that what you really mean when you say far-right. You do mean someone who is conservative in their thinking? Or do you not know what you mean?

We would describe figures such as Rees-Mogg and Farage as Far-Right, not Nazi or fascist. Or else we would describe them as Nazi or fascist. Ok?

We would describe figures such as Rees-Mogg and Farage as Far-Right, not Nazi or fascist. Or else we would describe them as Nazi or fascist. Ok?

So the phrase 'far-right' covers a wide range of right-wing thinking ranging from 'slightly to the right of  to 'Nazi , Facist etc' .
Surely it would help if you (or WE , whoever 'we' is) could come up with a few new labels in order to assist with the differentiation between Nigel Farage and Adolf Hitler !

*slightly to the right of conservative*

So UB has Tommy Robinson slightly to the right of conservative but not a Nazi, a racist or a fascist?

IT , Nazi and Facist are broadly speaking political stances . Racism is not exclusive to the 'far-right' . As moisok said there are plenty of labour voters who hold opinions which are all to branded as racist , such as Brexit and views relating to the wearing of Burkas etc.

No , I don't want a f*kin Richter Scale . I just want an end to all these ridiculous labels which do nothing to help define the political views held by an individual . This phrase 'far-right' is being overused by people who have little or no knowledge of its definition , and when asked to differentiate they come out with a load of rubbish about the measurement of earthquakes ffs !

UB you do not understand what it means so it is best you do not use it.

1. Noun. the extreme right wing of a political party or group.
2. Adjective. belonging to or representing the views of the extreme right wing of a political party or group.
3. Suck it up.

You do not know what it stands for UB. Therefore you should not use it.

Dictionaries are fake news.

I will be more than happy to discuss this topic when you have something to say other than the usual rhetoric .

For example : you have just posted something that , judging by your earlier posts , defines Nigel Farage and Jacob Rees-Mogg as 'extreme right wing' .
Please either retract that or come up with something that vaguely resembles an intelligent definition .
Thanks , Reynard

If that's your definition, you are using it very loosely and plain wrong in a lot of cases.

Again, IT, I have supplied the dictionary definition.
