The "lots of right wing parties getting more popular" phenomenon is international - actually more pronounced outside the EU than in (though it manifests in different ways in different electoral systems - in the UK by the Tory Party effectively incorporating UKIP, in the US by the MAMA takeover of Republican grassroots, etc...) - and this in turn is part of an even larger movement of voters and activists to political extremes - in Europe advantaging the left a few years ago - with the sudden rise of Syriza, Podemos, Pirate Parties, etc - now perhaps the right - but on other continents the left again.  All are really symptoms of the collapse of the centre - faith in the status quo - and underlying this the crisis of capitalism.

I'm pretty sure the movement of voters to political extremes will continue, because I'm pretty sure capitalism is collapsing - in a scenario scarily like Europe in the 1930s.  I think the EU, like all current political institutions, will get severely battered in the process - but I also think it's one of the focuses for hope.
