A quarter of Brits would back a far-right political party because they think the mainstream has let them down
26 per cent of those surveyed said they would throw their weight behind an anti-Islam, anti-immigrant party because they feel alienated from every other group
ONE in four people would vote for a far-right, anti-immigrant and anti-Islam party, a shock poll revealed yesterday.
As Theresa May's Chequers deal continues to anger Brexiteers, growing numbers of people are set to back extreme parties.
More voters are feeling alienated from the two main political parties, the polling showed.
24 per cent would be prepared to support a group which harboured anti-immigrant and anti-Islam policies.
And in findings that sent a warning shot to No10, the YouGov survey found 38 per cent would vote for a new party on the right that was committed to Brexit.
Meanwhile, one in three voters said they would support a new anti-Brexit centrist party that could overturn the referendum result.
The findings could show the UK is following the rest of Europe in seeing a rise of far-right parties.
The after effects of a migrant crisis and scepticism after the Brexit vote have seen voters veer towards the right.
Donald Trump's former chief strategist Steve Bannon said last weekend he wanted to capture this across Europe to boost the spread of far-right groups.
And former English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson has found a new following of supporters after he was jailed for 13 months for breaching court reporting restrictions around a trial.
But the rise of Jeremy Corbyn's far-left Labour party, who are still riding high in Britain's polls, and Spain's socialist party taking over the Government, have shown voters are more divided than ever.
The YouGov survey for the Sunday Times also revealed Boris Johnson has more than twice the support of her to deliver on Brexit.
Some 34 per cent said the former Foreign Secretary would be best placed to oversee the Brexit talks with Brussels and lead the Tories into the next election.
This compared to just 16 per cent for Mrs May.
Just one in nine voters support her plan, and just 12 per cent think it would be good for Britain.f

Most voters don't think it stays true to the referendum result either.
And a separate poll of Tory members for the ConservativeHome website found two in three Tory members oppose her Chequers plan.
The findings will heap even more pressure on Mrs May to change tack and change the Chequers plan she agreed just over two weeks ago - which has been torn apart by Brexiteers.
