Until recently, politicians who inveighed against immigration could expect support from an angry minority of voters in many Western countries. Some, like Australia's Pauline Hanson, won moments in the limelight and then faded away. Others got closer to political power: in France in 2002 the anti-immigrant Jean-Marie Le Pen reached the run-off stage of the presidential election; Denmark's centre-right government has been kept in office with support from an anti-migrant party; and in Austria in 2000 Joerg Haider's far-right party joined a coalition government. On each occasion this was controversial, but could be explained as a quirk of the electoral system, not a reflection of widespread anti-migrant sentiment.

机译：直到最近，侵害移民的政客可能会期望许多西方国家愤怒的少数选民的支持。一些人，例如澳大利亚的Pauline Hanson，赢得了众人关注的时刻，然后逐渐消失。其他人则更接近政治权力：2002年在法国，反移民让·玛丽·勒庞（Jean-Marie Le Pen）进入了总统大选的决赛阶段。在反移民政党的支持下，丹麦的中右翼政府一直在任。 2000年在奥地利，约尔·海德尔（Joerg Haider）的极右党加入了联合政府。在每种情况下，这都是有争议的，但可以解释为选举制度的怪癖，而不是普遍存在的反移民情绪的反映。
