Actually, there is a large spectrum on the right. On the national issue, there are : Liberals/Libertarians
Civic Nationalists/Liberal nationalists, who hold that anyone can be a loyal citizen if they are a loyal citizen.
Cultural Nationalists , who demand a common culture.
Ethno-nationalists, who look to a shared ethnic and cultural heritage.
Pan-nationalists who look beyond simply ethno-nationalism towards real or imagined shared histories. Two of the best known examples would be the Slavophiles in Russia and Nazis in Germany. I don't consider these to be nationalits at all, since they have no loyalty to the nation and don't consider it their patria.

On economics, there are free marketers, protectionists, paternalists, and even socialists.

The term "right" is therefor almost meaningless.

UKIP is a Civic Nationalist party, that is sometimes perceived as a cultural nationalist party. For a real cultural nationalist party in the UK, I would suggest you see Liberty GB. Both are free market. The British Nationalist Party is an ethno-nationalist party, which is protectionists and socialist.

Either they are for bigger government, or smaller government and individual liberty. Most European “conservatives” are for bigger government. They are medievalists, no matter what they call themselves. Even so-called socialists are actually medievalists, believing in some sort of feudalism.
