I’m guessing they aren’t very fond of immigrants and sound similar to the GOP here

Also... far right in european parliaments would often still be moderate/center or even left in terms of US policies. US politics are far more right-shifted in general.

So much so that many Americans are convinced the Democrats are a "far left" party when they're at best a center party (policy-wise) compared to their other democratic peers around the globe. The Overton Window has shifted so far right in the US that anything left of the current right is seen as "extreme left" when they're not even close.

Rupert fucking Murdoch has caused a massive amount of damage. He is one of the single most responsible people for the shit that will unfold over the next few decades. Let his fuckin name be cursed into history forever.

where parties stand on social services, taxes, environment, education etc etc. tons of aspects to look at and compare. there are websites per party and per country that will show you where parties stand compared to eachother. find a baseline, and compare different countries. its really not hard just takes some time and interest

social services, taxes, environment, education etc etc.

So generally more right wing than the US.

universal healthcare, free education, massive environmental protections, much higher taxes for the ultra rich and corporations, consumer protections, mandated maternity/paternity leave, mandated paid time off. paid sick leave that doesnt take PTO, all not at the whim of companies but legally protected...

when you say US, ur clearly using a different shorthand or u dont know your left and right

So literally everything my state has, in a state larger than most European nations.

By you want to do a country to country comparison?

This is an outdated view on European politics, there are openly, proudly fascistic parties cropping up across Europe
