Aren’t those basically their countries right of center parties?
In the Netherlands, the CDA is more center-right (with VVD and PVV being considered on the right). Even when Christan Democrats are considered right-wing, that means supporting a different set of policies than US Republicans or UK Tories. The leader of PVV is openly gay; no openly gay Republican has ever held national office. The cluster “traditional values, low taxes, low redistribution of wealth” just doesn’t describe these parties very well.
I’m not super-versed in European politics, so I could be totally wrong here.
