Are the non-aligned a "party"that would rather not be named (on the right wing of things) or are they actually non aligned and would be better represented as being in the middle of this chart?

Different fractions, some of them are not aligned yet because they are new. However, for the biggest groups: 17 MEPs are the German AfD that was kicked out of the right-most group for being too Nazi, 11 MEPs are Fidesz (Orban) which is right-wing and the list goes on, so for the most part the position is mostly correct.

Wow, Europe, you guys sure are worrying us a little.

But AfD is in the ID group?!

[–] friendlymessage@feddit.de 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They were kicked out just before the election

Oof, that does make the whole picture even more bleak

[–] trollercoaster@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Especially because they were kicked out for being too Nazi for the other European Right-Wing extremists.

Well I'd recon they were to blatantly obvious Nazi, not necessarily actually too Nazi
