The only phase I'd take out or rephrase is the "far right drives economy off a cliff", like, I'm pretty sure you can't say meloni is any more of a neoliberal than draghi before her, and she's just continuing to carry out his and the EU's economic plan anyways, and regarding Poland from what I understand the period where PiS was in power was noticeably better economically than the centrist liberals before them just because they weren't as committed to neoliberalism, to the point that a lot of poles reluctance to vote the liberals back despite PiS's rollback of LGBT rights and, in EU-speak, "democratic backsliding" was that the liberals would take away a subsidy system that PiS implemented that helped a lot of people.

yeah pis and orban kinda don't fit, maybe cause they have their own currency to do some light protectionism (agro business and pensioners respectively). usa also lives by its own rules, like economy under trump didn't shit the bed, aside from covid (it did under bush though) shrug-outta-hecks

uk does though, and they have currency control as well.
