We call it the EUSSR because it was a socialist project from its inception. Now the people are waking up, realising they don’t want any of it.
Lets hope it’s not too late.
Almost 400 million voters will descend on polling stations across the continent for EU elections this week as politicians battle it out for 720 seats in European Parliament.
The EU elections are the world’s second-biggest exercise in democracy behind the election in India, and after a period of what seems like perma-crisis with the Covid-19 pandemic, surging costs and the war in Ukraine, the stakes seem higher than ever.
The results will have an impact on issues ranging from global climate policies and defence to migration and geopolitical relations with China and the United States – not to mention the extent to which Europe will continue to support troops in Kyiv as they battle Vladimir Putin‘s forces.
Since the last EU election in 2019, populist, far-right and extremist parties now lead governments in three EU nations, are part of governing coalitions in several others, and appear to have surging public support across the continent.
But a lack of unity among the right-wing elements of Europe means the leading candidates are spread across several political groups.
Here, MailOnline breaks down everything you need to know about the European Parliament elections, the key trends and factors influencing voters, and what the results are likely to be.
Daily Mail is bad.
Zero Hedge is even worse:
Liberals Europe crushed by conservative, anti-immigrant revolt.
The language of this article is deplorable.
The ruling establishment in Europe are anything but ‘Liberal’. They are champagne socialists who jump on every socialist brainfart to make the lives of people miserable.
There is no “Right-Wing Tsunami” in Europe, conservatives are not “Right-Wingers”, and the invading African, Islamic savages are not ‘immigrants’, they are undesirable rent seekers & colonisers, who must be deported, instantly.
Right-Wing Tsunami: Conservatives Ascendant In Euro Parliament Vote, Le Pen Thrashes Macron; Germany’s SPD Suffers Record Rout
As we await the results from the European Parliament vote (previewed here), the exit polls from Germany are already in and they are a disaster for both the alliance of French president Macron, who was steamrolled by Marine Le Pen, and for German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democrats, which crashed to their worst-ever result in European Parliament elections Sunday, as conservative and right-wing parties soared across the old continent, a result which will help tilt the European parliament further towards a more anti-immigration and anti-green stance.
According to preliminary results from five countries, right-wing parties are estimated to have won at least 33 of the 174 seats available in Austria, Cyprus, Germany, Greece and the Netherlands, according to official exit polls from those countries, up from 19 seats at the last election in 2019. And – as the ultraliberal FT admits – “the surge, at the expense of liberal and Green parties, would complicate European commission president Ursula von der Leyen’s bid for a second term as head of the EU’s executive.”
In Germany, Chancellor Scholz’s Social Democrats crashed to their worst-ever result, falling to third place with 14% of the vote behind the populist and nationalist Alternative for Germany, which has become the second-largest German party in the European Parliament with 16.4%. The conservative CDU/CSU alliance was on course for a comfortable win with 29.6%, according to an exit poll Sunday from public broadcaster ARD. The other two parties in Scholz’s ruling alliance — the Greens and the Free Democrats — got 12% and 5% respectively.
