However, the comment I replied to made a pretty universal claim about rulers.

Yeah, universal statements tend to lack nuance.

But especially with the right-wing parties I see quite a bit of malice for the point of personal gain.

And at least in Austria, Germany and the UK the conservatives are so deep into working for personal gain, that they completely forget what would benefit the country and the people.

(I don’t have enough deep enough insight into the governments of other countries in Europe to say anything about that, but from what I read, Hungary and Italy are not better off)
