You're conflating a lot of things in that post.
The bottom line is .....
Immigration has been sold as the bogey man for all the disaffected's ills. That's the core message of the parties they're gravitating towards.
How are they to blame for any of the issues you state?
The fall in standard of living has gradually eating its way up the classes from bottom up due to wealth inequality and the death spiral of the last 10 years of conservative rule.
I'd like everyone on here to declare (anecdotally) how immigration/asylum seekers/refugees have directly affected them (negative or positive).
On the other points...
It's all very well supporting Ukraine?...as opposed to letting Putin have his way?
Moving towards a greener future?...impacts people's standard of living? Well, if we don't, it sure will.
As a side note, we as a country have faced difficult issues on a par or worse than any other EU country but we vote in what very much looks like a centrist government?
These issues, as I've already said real or not, are turning people away from the main centralist parties.
The perception of a considerable amount of voters is that their concerns are not being listened to.
Several countries in Europe now have governments unable to govern because of weak coalitions, is that going to alleviate the issues? Will it persuade voters to return to the centre? Or does it just open the door wider for right in the next election.
With no mandate in France for any party to govern it's unlikely that much will get done, le pen can, and almost certainly will, stand back and say "see, we could have fixed it, but this cabal who didn't listen to your voice thwarted us. Don't fall for it again."
More people are turning towards the right, not away from it, that's not going to stop by ignoring them.
Let's look at the UK.
Blair wins a landslide as voters leave a tory party that is riven with division, mired in scandal and failing govern.
10 years later swop new Labour with the tories.
A hung parliament results because well there is not much difference between labour and tory. Surge in lib Dems vote. Surge is probably a push, but certainly an uplift.
Guess what, turns out lib Dems aren't actually any different.
The rise of the SNP. You can skip to the conclusions if you want here, it's a bit TLDR and maybe uncomfortable for some.
So in Scotland, a Labour stronghold for generations, voters who suddenly can't vote for Labour because of the cesspit that Labour has become and would rather sacrifice their first born on an alter to Satan than vote tory turn to the only protest vote in town. The SNP.
This worked reasonably well under salmond, he knew his audience and was prepared to win them over gradually.
But then the carrot of a ref was dangled and he fell for it.
In an atmosphere reminiscent of '78 and Allys Tartan Army the ref was lost but a new general enters the fray.
With lots of good words, but sleakit deeds, the general conquers the world.
The Scots want independence everyone shouts, well everyone except the Scots. All hail Nicola is the cry.
As the headlines proclaim all the good the Snp are going to do no one actually stops and asks, well when are you going to do them?
The "sovereign will of the Scottish people" becomes the "Sovereign will of the Scottish Parliament" which then turns into "your concerns are not valid". How very orwellian.
All as it crashes and burns around them.
The tory vote tanked in the UK, but surprisingly not Scotland , the snp results were a lot worse.
The UK has run out of places to lay your protest vote, until reform came along.
It's easy to say that everyone who voted reform is a swivel eyed right wing racist loon, just as it was easy to say every vote for the Snp was a vote for indy.
The problems are not going away, if they are not addressed then we are all back in the same situation come the next round of elections.
Sorry for the length of the post, and bleating on about the Snp, although they are the perfect example, and of course it is just all my opinion
