The problem is, people are reactionary morons with zero long term memory. If things go to hell, they're just going to respond by becoming die hard [opposite of whoever is currently in office], even if the policies that ruined their country were put in place by someone completely different. Every issue in Europe right now is squarely the fault of leftists and globalists, but if the scapegoat is a populist, it means the people will beg for more globalism.
If I were more cynical I might suggest that the reason we're suddenly seeing a pivot away from the left is so the right takes all the blame when people are hungry, broke, and freezing. Then they can swoop in come spring and end up with even more power than they already had. Same thing that happened with COVID.

And they lost it all bar a few exceptions like Canada and New Zealand. That's the thing, to accomplish that it would require a level of competence and unity the left simply cannot possess, the people may be reactionary but that's not we are after, we are after that small group of people that if they act can REALLY cause change. If events cause them to finally take action then you will see the leftist organisations fall to them.
