75% Informative

In Britain , the wisdom of the country’s 2016 decision to leave the EU is still hotly debated.

None of this has blunted the eurosceptic beliefs of New Right parties across Europe .

Most say they do not intend to follow Britain 's example and leave EU entirely.

Instead, they seek to “reform the EU into a looser, more democratic organisation that returns national sovereignty to member states”.

Hungary 's leader has fashioned a political system that remains formally democratic.

But corruption allegations persist due to links between Orbán ’s administration and a number of major corporations.

Hungary spends less on healthcare per capita than the EU average and has one of the highest rates of preventable mortality.

Of all the New Right leaders, Kickl is the most outspokenly pro-Russian .

He has been a voluble admirer of Putin and he has promised to cut aid to Ukraine .

An arc of New Right Central European states now looks likely to emerge, from Hungary through Austria to Slovakia .
