Our far right is actually losing ground because most people realize how batshit insane they are. They also had a party split because some people thought they were too batshit insane and some thought they weren't batshit insane enough.
We are not safe from what's going on in your country of course. And I realize many of the Epstein accomplices were European too (such as the Andrew formerly known as prince). But it's your side of the pond that's super fucked because there's no real way to hold them accountable right now. In my country, even the prime minister, president, etc, can be held accountable. In fact there's a separate 4th branch of government that checks that the main 3 aren't doing any fuckery. Called the Chancellor of Justice. We don't have a single position as powerful as the US president, even prime minister doesn't get close and the president only has veto privileges and a representative role, no executive order type powers.
It would take so many people to be complicit to allow someone to take over the country like Trump has in the US, that if it were to actually happen, I will have lost faith in my entire country, not just the politicians. We currently have 6 parties in parliament I believe. It's dominated by libs and centrists, both the conservatives and socdems don't actually hold a lot of power, but even the libs have to court another group of parties, as the two liberal parties alone only got 51 out of 101 seats, which is a technical majority, but not really enough to get anything done. So now they're in there together with the socdems. For context, our liberals are pro social rights (LGBT, racial equality, etc), but also want to lower taxes and reduce spending, so the rich court the liberals more than the outright hateful conservatives (who, for all their faults, don't want to reduce education and healthcare spending).
It's a slightly healthy balance of everyone wants different things and there's no "pure evil" because even the most evil people will still vote against some very bad things because they're just hateful racists, not corporate-owned hateful racists lol
