That's obviously not good. However, there are of course levels in hell and "hard-right" here seems to include some, but not all, ECR parties, plus all of PfE, and all of ESN. I'm not a fan pf any of them, but some of the parties behind the numbers are a far bigger worry than others; as they differ a lot on crucial topics.

Doesn't matter. There are the insane ones and then there are the stupid ones that think they can totally be moderate while fishing for voters on the fringes of insanity without a) legitimizing the parties there and b) losing voters.
The alternative for conservative parties would be sane politics over populism. But as they are conservative, so inherently unfit to find any solutions for modern problems, they all chose to copy "hard-right" talking points and populist bullshit. And they will all canibalized the exact same way.
The difference you see isn't one of substance... just different parties in different countries running in slightly different time frames.
