Is the Republican party the most right-wing major party in the world?

No, even in terms of rhetoric they're to the left of the "right" major party in Switzerland, Northern Ireland, and a bunch of Eastern European and Latin American countries (and on certain issues, such as immigration, to the left of most center-right parties), in terms of their actual domestic policies once in government they're unremarkable by world standards, although the state parties are admittedly sometimes more radical.

I'm with Winston on the Tories generally being to the right of the Republicans in practice (though I must point out that the Tories haven't privatized the police or roads).
