I wouldnt be too sure on the UK and France yet, the far right parties in both are leading in the polls right now. The UK has a lot of local elections next spring and Frances's parliament seems like it will probably collapse and require new elections soon, maybe by this time next year if the far right havent gained significant power we can talk about turning a corner.

While I understand the concern about these parties polling well, the old adage that "the only poll that counts are the elections" still applies. I am at least still cautiously hopeful that the Trump effect will continue to pay dividends across the rest of the world by making the majority of the electorate reconsider supporting parties styled after the MAGA movement.
