Europe’s far-right parties hailed the UK’s vote to leave the European Union as a victory for their own anti-immigrant and anti-EU stance and vowed to push for similar referendums in their own countries. 


France’s Front National (FN) saw it as a clear boost for Marine Le Pen’s presidential bid next year and momentum for the party’s anti-Europe and anti-immigration line. 


Le Pen told RTL radio: "Like a lot of French people, I’m very happy that the British people held on and made the right choice. What we thought was impossible yesterday has now become possible." 


Florian Philippot, the party’s vice president, tweeted: "The freedom of the people always ends up winning! Bravo United Kingdom. Now it’s our turn!" 


Le Pen is likely to make a fuller statement to journalists later on Friday, hailing Brexit as what she sees as the beginning of the end of the European Union
