I don't think that's true at all.

When the UK was in the EU, UKIP was their largest party. For France, Le Pen's National Front party was the largest. And they aren't alone. There's a number of right wing EU parties.

And it's due to get worse, if we bring data into it. Many countries in the EU are swinging to the right. Polling is indicating right wing parties will have a solid majority in the EU parliament this year.

I think those politicians don't really bother going to the parliament and mostly cash the checks in, but it's just a guess

Nah these people love imposing their BS on people.

Well the ones from France don't seem to do much, maybe the other ones are worse
