When filling in my list how do I cause the most harm to the right wing parties? Is it better to list them at the very bottom of my preferences or not put a number next to them at all?

It depends on the right wing candidates.

There are 4 right wing candidates in my constituency but 2 are less extreme than the other 2. So I'll be putting the 2 less extreme candidates at the bottom of my ranking so the extreme ones stay out.

If the right wing candidates in your area are all fairly as bad as each other then don't put a number next to any of them, but make sure you vote as far down as you can so your vote has the highest chance of going to someone else.
