The primary political party in the United States associated with the "right-wing" is the Republican Party. In the UK, The National Front, is probably the most right wing of the political parties.
In the United States, currently, the Republican party is the most conservative or right-wing. It should be noted that there are still some individual Republicans who would be considered moderate, but most scholars (including conservative scholars) have noted that the party as a whole has moved much more to the right in the past several decades.
In many other countries, right-wing political parties can be a factor in politics; for example in France, the National Front has long been known for its harsh rhetoric and its strong anti-immigrant stands. While sometimes, extreme right-wing parties get some votes and provide an outlet for populist anger, such parties generally lack the support of the majority of people, appealing only to a small core group of followers.
