Approximately zero, because these are successful political leaders that have had to work with many people they don’t fully agree with during their careers.

The only way to fend off far-right parties is to elect governments that will actually take action to make people’s lives better. I mean dramatic, even drastic actions to improvements in quality of life for real people, not billionaires.
Centrists and even some center-left parties don’t seem to get this, or they do but they don’t care. It seems like leftist parties are the only ones that are willing to step up. They need our support more than ever.

Unfortunately, a LOT of people are just too stupid to realize what “better” is.
If you tax a millionaire 10 bucks, and give it to the poor, a large number of them will resent you for taxing “them” and paying “those lazy bastards”, despite you literally give them 10 bucks.
