Dude, no they're not.
Tommy Robinson is a grifter, but Reform has a pretty good chance of winning the next UK general election
People are realising the current omni-party centrist/centre-left politics and economics have failed utterly.

This is moving the goalposts from "Elon supports far-right politicians" which was cited with sources, you're just going "well he's right to"
No, I'm saying they're not far right. It's a pejorative term made up by the left to try and shift the overton window away from conservatism.
They're about as "far right" as the 80's Thatcher government.

When and by whom?

Would you describe Thatcher passing Section 28 (which criminalized "promotion of homosexuality") as plain "conservatism" or is "far right" an appropriate descriptor in that case?
I think it was conservatism of its time. You can ret-con it with 2026 morality and say it was wrong, but then it was the Conservative austerity government that legalised gay marriage.
If you don't want to concede "far right" as a term for conservatives who are fine with suppression of speech on LGBT issues - aren't you lumping everyone outside the far left together with extremists?
Elon did the salute and the AfD has it on their ads

This does not change the fact that Reform is a far-right party (and, like almost all far-right parties in the Western nations, one that has been linked to Russian corruption [1]).

Lol as if far-right politics are any better. Milei is running Argentinia into the ground, so is Bukele with El Salvador, and so is Trump in the US.
The only ones who are somewhat of an exception is Italy with Meloni, who managed to dance on the very thin line separating far-right ideology from inevitable disaster.

"Far Right" in the sense of "The Guardian says so". And one bloke getting arrested doesn't prove the whole party is Russia-funded, despite that being the catch-all left wing excuse every time they lose an election.
People in El Salvador generally seem pretty happy with a 98% reduction in the murder rate. For Argentina, it's too early to tell. We'll have to wait until the shock therapy has finished.
At least they made the trains run on time! /s
