What “progressive leader” in the Netherlands are you talking about? Prime Minister Mark Rutte, who recently announced his retirement after the collapse of his latest coalition government, is a longstanding leader of the VVD, a conservative-liberal center-right party that has led governing coalitions for the past decade-plus.
The VVD’s current coalition partners are other centrist to center-right parties, including the socially conservative Christian Union party. Moreover, AFAICT VVD is projected to lead the polls again in the next Dutch elections. So I don’t see by what tortured logic you managed to twist Rutte’s ouster into any kind of alleged rejection of “progressivism” on the part of the Netherlands.
Similarly, New Zealand did not in any way “force” Labour PM Jacinda Ardern (who is an actual progressive) to resign earlier this year; at the time of her spontaneous and voluntary resignation, she was still widely popular and projected to win the next election.
Her Labour successors lost widely to their more right-wing National Party rivals in the recent elections, but that’s a very far cry from your claim of a “forced” resignation by Ardern.
As Exapno_Mapcase pointed out, that rather narrow two-year sample window seems rather… arbitrary. Even so, yeah, you missed a few.
You also seem to have missed Estonia’s liberal Reform Party victory at the polls this past March.
What we do seem to be seeing worldwide is a doubling-down on the part of authoritarian-conservative movements, and a renewed tendency on their part to blame intractable global problems (climate change, COVID-19, refugee issues) on liberals. A lot of voters in troubled times are reassured and inspired by exhortations to “just throw out those cosmopolitan egghead elitists and put us regular folks in charge, and we’ll return you to the good old days”, but that says more about their sentimental delusions than their realistic judgement.
