Its so broken that you have to vote for national parties in EU elections. Nobody knows the names of the EU level parties let alone their policy stances. If we voted directly for EU parties people might be more engaged with EU politics
Love the videos tho! Thank you
a friend of mine asked me the other day What the heck are the eu parties XD
Ok but the point from the start is that you're voting your country's representatives in the EU. These EU "parties" are just the broad coalitions of those guys.
If we were voting the EU parties directly you would not be getting representation of your country which is the whole point of the EU parliament. If EU was a federation ok but we ain't
@@raulpetrascu2696 stand for both then maybe. I get that, but the current system just doesn't work. Fianna Fail doesn't have EU manifestos, Renew Europe does. They don't even put these parties on their campaign posters. How can people know what they're voting for
I don’t understand why these videos aren’t getting as much traction as usual? Maybe when the elections are closer they will. Love them tho!
I hope so too. They take a lot of time 😃 thanks for watching !
Maybe because he's kinda spaming them, and also because many people may not want to watch this because they don't care about EU elections or are just not interested in this group in specific
@@joaquimbarbosa896 I believe it's people not even being aware of it being election time. Still so many people I know and talk to, that don't know how the EU votes work. Honestly many young people hardly care for our nation's election.. imagine EU's election. Many people on the internet are also from outside EU, some insights on EU might seem nice to them but actually breakdown of parties before upcoming election might not interest them at all. So yeah, I just think it's a difficult subject to really 'attract' viewers with. Think of it like this one being for the longtime fans and subs.
Yea I must admit watching every single one is a bit hard. I would need some kind of comparison off all parties in one video that isn’t 40 min long
Thats also coming 1 week before the elections or so. The plan was to build a whole portfolio of election videos building up to the election. So that you can either watch an overview or go in deep :)
I understand your hesitance regarding making these videos with low viewership, but I hope you continue to make them regardless. By far the most helpful videos leading to the upcoming elections, and after all, aren’t the elections what it’s all about?
I am losing money on these videos but I agree with you :) They are super important. Therefore, stay tuned. This is a good week for these videos !
@@EUMadeSimpleIs there any way we could support your content besides watching?
@@EKF4N Dear EKF4N, firstly thank you for watching. You can support further by becooming a member of our channel or signing up to patreon. there are details in the video description :) All support is greatly appreciated. Even just watching, subscribing , commenting and liking videos. Thank you!
@@EUMadeSimple I have now! May I recommend you also host the link in the channel’s description, perhaps it would get noticed more. The channel membership seems to not be available at the moment, so I chose the patreon.
@@EKF4N dear EKF4N, I saw :) thank you so much. This kind of help keeps the channel going. I will reply over email later with the perks and stuff. A bit busy rb. Nonetheless really appreciate it.
Thank you SO MUCH for these overview videos!!!
You are welcome!
These videos are genuinely going to shape my voting in the next elections.
A first mistake they make is to use the word "socialism".
Although in predominantly southern nations such as Spain, Portugal and Greece this has a positive connotation, in northern countries it has a negative connotation. It is no coincidence that the Swiss Socialist Party is called that in French, but changes its name to "Social Democrat" in German.
I agree with some of your points, people in USA, post commie Europe and Northern Europe have a bad connotation with word "Socialism", but it stems from misunderstanding, socialism can be a basis of a fair and equal democracy, while communism usually falls into a trap of totalitarian/autocrat government. I still think they should use it. If you ask young people these days on how they feel about socialism most will give you a positive response. Some words can be reclaimed, from insults or fearmongering, to a positive and unifying meaning. Look for a word Queer for example, a really strong insult in the 20th century, around 1980s it started changing due to hard work of LGBTQ people and now is one of the most important words to describe this community.
@@felisenpai9625 I personally make it more of an economics issue:
Socialism means greater control of the economy by the state (even if governed democratically). Northern countries are historically much more inclined towards the free market, even if with high welfare and taxes (like Scandinavian countries), while Mediterranean countries show a greater propensity to seek state work and to distrust capitalism.
@@slavianalbanovich9025Scandinavian countries have an enormous tax burden and state machines. Calling them anything other than the manifestation of socialist societies is madness. The word socialism also does not have a negative connotation up here.
Farmers are not allowed to sell their milk to whomever they choose, nor can they dictate price. The same is true to a certain degree with eggs, meat, power, etc.
I'm a member of the Socialist Party in Denmark. And we're not even the ones most to the left in parliament.
Socialism is fundamental to the Nordic model, and even the more liberalist/conservative parties can't deny that we're essentially a "social democratic" state.
Socialism has become a bad word because of the increased Americanism of our politics. And it's cancer to our societies.
@@Emanon... Thank you very much for this starting point:
The word socialism is certainly very broad, it is used to describe nations like Northern Korea or Cuba and is also used for some center-left parties in the West.
Originally it was almost synonymous with communist, however the prevailing meaning is that of an economy in which companies do not have an owner and are co-managed by the workers themselves. Therefore there is no owner of a factory, the workers own the factory and divide the profits equally or in proportion to their qualification; but the free market system (albeit very regulated) still exists; while in communism it is the state that manages the economy.
In the Nordic countries it doesn't seem to me that companies are owned by workers, it is a capitalist system with heavy taxation and a consequent Welfare State.
I prefer S & D to The Left, but I feel too much focus on social issues, not enough on economy and defense. They'd need to invest in nuclear to help climate goals or at least not shut down nuclear. Looking forward to Renew Europe. More aligned to S & D than EPP.
Renew Europe is goated. I wish volt was its own group to
@@joaquimbarbosa896 Volt is part of the Greens/EFA group according to Wikipedia. They do sound like an interesting party.
I'm pro S&D but this migration crisis and defense issues confuses me 🤷🏻♂️
@@absolutezeronow7928 Wanted to shout out to Volt too. Or like a poster for the party here says: More democratic than the Democrats, more social than the Socialists, greener than The Greens, more European than all of them.
Left and s&d's economic plans will make the eu less competitive. Renew is much better
I have a video suggestion. Could you make a video where you brakedown the EU budget? How it works, what EU spends money on and so on?
To bad these videos don't get enought views btw.
Hi Amos, i Will do . It is on our list. Thank you for the idea
thank you for this video. I've been waiting for it since I'm planning on voting for their representative. Though, it's quite sad that this party has only one representative in my country :/ (I'm from Czechia btw)
Also. Most of people in Czechia don't even know that there are all European parties and thus vote for the respective parties in the Czech parliament. I think it might be all "eastern european" (east of the iron curtain) problem. People here are really uneducated about the EU. Which also projects on your views on these videos.
Anyway thank you for your hard work. It's the little things that make world a better place.
This sort of videos are very helpful. I love how you’ve divided it based on key issues. It really helps when deciding who to vote for, especially when the manifestos are very long to read in full
Having Scholz talking about defense was not their best decision. My guy refused for a long time to send Leopards and now refuses to send Taurus. Ironicly, not giving Taurus missiles just makes it easier for Ukraine to lose the equipment it already has, thus making the equipment Germany is offering less effective. I don't understand him
Germany is the largest European donor of weapons to Ukraine. Not sending Taurus, just does not negate that. None of the other large donors have S&D governments in power right now. So having him talk is much better then Sanchez who send nearly nothing.
@@MrMakabar Equipment wich actively becomes less effective when not going together with other best in class equipments. And Germany actively blocks other countries from giving that same equipment. They did the same with the Leopards, and until now very few were sent
@@joaquimbarbosa896 Go back to Ruzzia kid.
@@joaquimbarbosa896 My country bought tanks from Germany and there are 400 Leopard tanks in Ukraine by the way. There are 45 US tanks. Before this last aid package of the US. The doesn't allow strikes on Russia either. You need to understand that Germany didn't have so much to spare because they neglected spending in defense for years.
Another great video man! I hope these video's get in the recommended feed for people around the election and you get well over a couple 100k views!
It sounds like the left, but more realistic and less naive, so far the best I have seen, but I am still waiting for renew Europe to make my final decision
I am planning to make it. But share the video if you can/want :) They are getting way too little traction to make it worth making them.
Which country are you from if I may ask?
Im Dutch :)
@@EUMadeSimple please make renew europe as well, you did the left which got 38 mep compared to renew europe 102 mep , and they are projected to still have way less. To be blund i think the left are the most delusional of all eu parties, at least renew seems more moderate / realistic compared to the others
@@EUMadeSimple renew Europe is getting too little traction or the videos about parties ?
Those overview videos are of public interest, I'm really gratefull to you for those.
Given the line of thinkinbg in this channel, I would greatly encourage taking a look at Volt. The best way I can describe it's a green social-liberal federalist party, with EU integration being a key component of its rethoric. I find its stance to be more pro-European than most other political groups, more even than the S&D, Renew and Greens/EFA.
If you align yourself in these sort of political movements but wish for even more EU integration, please give them a look (not an ad btw if it seems I´m over the top with it, but I actually believe they have a cool political project that needs spreading around)
Unfortunatly volt is not (yet) its own group in the EU parlament, so technicly its still like any other national party
Parties like Volt are the reason a united States of Europe is more likely every day because they push other parties to have similar topics. Today you cannot be a popular party if you don't have any green agenda.
If any of the small European countries want to survive any major problems and shifts that climate change and with it more immigration will bring, only united will this be possible.
@thierryparte2506it is definitely too early for that. European federation is a project for the next century, not this one.
Volt is Decent, DiEM is better.
Renew is a more realistic option for working towards a stronger closer EU and eventual federation, at least this decade. And they don't have the added feminist baggage of Volt. Their focus is pro-Europe, wanting to make it a world power
I am really excited for your video about the european green parties in this election! ♥
gonna vote!
Me to
Great vid, keep them up!
Thanks. It's a great video!
thanks for your work on the videos!
Glad you like them!
I'd put your voice higher compared to the audio/video fragments, atm I kinda need to crank up to hear you perfectly fine and then the fragments are a bit too loud. Just a tip to keep in mind ;) also good job on the videos!
Noted! thanks. I will keep it in mind next video
@@EUMadeSimple the fragments are good for the video as they break up parts and show some footage of actual party members but mostly want to hear you dissect what it all means, as your channel says "EU made simple" .. because we all know it's very complicated.
Only thing I wonder often with the statements and things the parties want, is "how are they gonna achieve this?" .. but I guess that would bring the video too far and too deep. But the addition of saying that the manifesto isn't very clear on certain subjects or doesn't delve deep into it, says a lot. Many thanks for the video, I think S&D is one of the better parties for my ideologies. Kinda sad that no party really hits the nail but gotta make trade offs everywhere in life. Hehe.
Many thanks for the good coverage!
Yes the videos are already quite long. So i dont want to go deeper. But you are right! With a lot of the points in the manifesto (for all parties so far) i have wondered how they want to implement their objectives and how they want to pay for it. So really keep that in mind when watching these videos :)
And as always, thanks for watching:)
As an American, I see everything here as based (though I am a bit concerned about the lack of specific details regarding policy)
Even your audio mixing is 10/10, as always.
Probably the group that I'll end up voting.
They are simply the closest to my idea without begin total naives.
Where are you from if I may ask?
@@tomorrowneverdies567 I am Italian.
@@Real_MrDev and are you ok with the deterioration of average quality of phenotype in Italy, as a result of immigration of people with less good quality of phenotype there?
@tomorrowneverdies567 aw man, the nazis are here. Yes my Aryan brother, we are all worried about phenotypes and the color of the skin of our ancestors. Very real problems. Very concerning.
@@tomorrowneverdies567 I'll be frank, that's very racist of you.
I simply don't care, as long as anyone follows the law, they are actual people for me.
Another great thing to read is the 2023 Resolutions adopted by the PES, it is basically the same as the manifesto but more detailed!
Hi could you guys also make a video on Volt maybe? Because I think there will be also videos on the ECR, ID, RE and Greens later on.
Really amazing video! I wonder, is there some place we can see a full overview what each party wants like for example in a pdf file? Or just an overview what every party wants on 9:37?
Its a good idea. We are actually building a website where we might have this in the future. But for the short term, once the last video is done maybe I will provide a link to a PDF.
@@EUMadeSimple that would be awesome! I am already looking forwards the next explanation, it is really really interesting
Would be nice to have a Renew Europe video too!
They have some good ideas but they are too naive on energy policy, social rights and migration. EPP/ECR are much more coherent on these issues.
They seem to all agree in wanting more made in EU goods, however in the future would be nice to compare HOW they want that
Very Good Videos. I allready decided for which Party i vote bzt this videos can be really good for my friends who arent as active in politics.
Renew Europe next?
Not yet, unfortunatly
Still enjoying, looking forward to more. Maybe not so many views, but important.
good video, but at 1:10 you showed the german party chair of the SPD not the front runner for the election, Katharina Barley
6:49 Regarding quality jobs, I am a bit skeptical.
First how they plan to achieve this? Probably by more tightening regulations, which would lead to my second and more important question.
When the standards are high, it will be hard just to get a job, any job. How do I find a job? It's already happening, even with a lot of qualifications and years of experience the interviews are total chaos and madness. The employers looks for unicorns candidates even for entry level jobs.
Speaking about Germany: The raise for quality in buildings/apartments led to the problem that nobody wants to construct new living spaces anymore, and the quest of finding apartment is approaching the toughness of finding a job.
Yup, what they say sounds good until you dig deeper and realize they'll just make things worse.
Same with the Greens opposing nuclear power.
A video about Volt and the Pirates? They don't quite fit into the big parties
Thank you for yet another excellent video on the EU political groups. Please do every EU Group before the election.
VOTE VOLT OR PIRATE PARTY!!!
Amazing explanation of S&D. Thank you for bringing quality to the discussion. 😏
So far it's my favourite of the ones you have presented. They might have my vote.
Okay now do the centrist and right parties and they stood for. If you guys are able that is.
i'm waiting for Renew Europe video to decide who to vote. I'm like pro-S&D but want to hear opinions of Renew Europe :)
Curious to see what ID and ECR have to say about that...
Meh, probably something dumb
What are the best arguments against asylum centers in 3rd countries? Would it not save lives and prevent illegal immigration?
from a (political) left opinion: we can't be sure how the asylum seekers will be treated, so it's more "humane" to house them in Europe.
and hope we are able to deal with all the negatives that come with it. but as they have shown they can't deal with the negatives, so we need new solutions.
i also wouldn't be surprised if NGO's and other organisations that make big money because of asylum seekers are against less of them.
those NGO's ferrying them from North Africa to Europe would lose all their "moral high ground" and donors if they wouldn't be able to act as a taxi service anymore.
and after the asylum seekers have arrived they need to be fed, need language classes, they have the right to an attorney to help them with the application etc.
all those things require someone to do them, and in return those people get payed.
so there's a lot of (taxpayers) money going around in the "asylum business".
@@ChristiaanHW But the asylum centers would be like embassies, they would guarantee the same treatment as in EU.
@@janchi_stephanchi ideally yes.
but you could make the case that asylum seekers have to go through the "third country" to arrive at that embassy. and during those travels depending on the country it could be unsafe.
also the embassies don't nearly have enough space to house thousands of asylum seekers on their grounds.
so European countries probably would make deals with those "host countries". so the country X does all the housing and caring for the asylum seekers. and the EU pays those countries for those services. and reviews the asylum applications.
but the political left fears that the conditions under those types of deals would be worse than the conditions in asylum centers in Europe.
personally i think we should go to a system where people are only allowed to apply for asylum in a country close to their country of origin. to prevent them from making the types of journeys they do now. and to prevent them from taken advantage of by smugglers/traffickers.
and someone showing up at an European border would be deported immediately.
at first this approach sound harsh.
but you need ironclad rules so everyone knows what the rules and punishments for breaking them are.
and it prevents all those people drowning and all the horrors they might have to endure while trying to reach Europe.
it also would have a lot more support from the citizens, because citizens would know that the people coming to Europe would have made it through the application process and are here legal.
so at first it might be harsh, but in the long run:
- Europe wins, we don't have to deal with all the illegal immigration we have now. and everything that comes with it.
- the host countries win, because they get money from Europe. and they might even attract more immigrants themselves, which could help them.
- the immigrants win, because they don't have to make dangerous journeys anymore. and they will know exactly what is expected of them.
Yes but that alone wouldn't change much, because their applications will still mostly be accepted.
Well deaths would decrease as you said.
@@tomorrowneverdies567 yes, but i think that if we don't have the people already walking in our streets, we would "organically" become more strict about who we accept and who not.
especially because most asylum seekers are better of in a country close to there country of origin.
(close to) same culture, close by so when things calm down they could easily return home, most likely they would speak a common tongue, so all around easier to integrate and more fair to everyone involved.
now we kinda accept them because there's no better way. but if they are still somewhere else it's easier to tell that that they would have a better chance at live at the place they already are.
so we would only have to accept the asylum seekers that really have no future in/around the country they come from.
(because of having the "wrong" sexual orientation or religion, for the area they come from)
and other immigrants would only be allowed if they can really add something to the nation the want to move to. just like we already do with immigrants from the USA or Australia.
part of these changes would come naturally when it become easier to deny and remove the people that don't make it trough the application process.
but of course we also have to toughen our immigration/asylum system/laws.
How about volt?
To be honest, I think you should set up a donation page. Because it's one of the few channels that I think I would support 🤔😊
This EU election will be problematic for me... In Slovenia and SDS, NSi are too Christian (while SDS is also a conspiracy pot...), Levica are the no-brain-lots-of-brag-and-extortion while SD is being lead by a former member of EU parliament with 0 visions (except for the "progressive" woke equality or whatever...) and the party has more-incompetence-and-corruption-each-year written all over...
It's hard to vote for any EU party in such a situation (since you agree with some EU parties on one thing, with others on the other but none of the local parties that would give the vote to one of them are worthy of your vote).
It'd be nice to know how to solve such a problem...
Vote for the one that does the most things right. It isn't possible that there is not a single issue in any party that you agree with.
@@mr.netflix9149 I've given up on "vote for the one that does the most things right" years ago...
I vote for the one that does the least things wrong at best.
Until a few years ago that was SD but managed to become useless under the current leadership (which is lead by the exact representative for whom I've voted for EU parliament... So unfortunately for me having such a person closer by shows the incompetence a lot better.).
The second best would be SDS if it weren't for the fact that they have brown hair because of going too deep into Catholic priests... And are conspiracy propaganda machine... Which are the two lines where I'd rather see the whole EU go up in flames than support such meat popsicles.
So that's my rock and a hard place... Incompetence on one side, populism in the middle and insanity on the other.
It's hard not to vote for the one that will cause the most casualties as soon as possible in such a situation (just because things don't change until the world burns) even though that would make things worse...
You should prioritize by category. The EU has more power in some areas than others. For example, the EPP is perhaps somewhat more socially conservative on the EU level than I am, but since I agree with their defense policy and economic policy, I'll happily vote for them since the social issues are more of a state level issue. And prioritize how you feel about the EU party, not the national party.
Vote for volt I guess
@@joaquimbarbosa896 Gave a quick glance at them and on the first glance they seem a good choice.
Unfortunately as far as I can tell there is no representation in our country...
Did the "you can vote for the pan European parties" change go through and we can vote for such parties now?
Amazing series, will be sharing it with all my friends!
Can the S&D come on the side of science in the energy debate? Having a politically progressive community opposing nuclear doesn't make any sense.
Great video
But we had enough reds, Nein Danke!
One of the best parties
Which country are you from if I may ask?
Oh I'm French, S&D's representative here the "Parti Socialiste" which is a centre left pro-capitalist party with regulations in mind and leftist views overall, despite some previous controversies and laws they passed that were quite right wing for a leftist party under Hollande.
I don't really agree with them on a national scale that much, even though it would be nice having them in power rather than Macron, I'd guess (his internal policy has been pretty bad if you ask me)
But on a European-wide scale, they seem like the safest bet to me.
@@MUCM I see. And are you ok with the deteriorating average quality of phenotype of people in France due to immigration of people with less good quality of phenotype?
@@tomorrowneverdies567 ??? I'm sorry what?? "less good quality of phenotype" are you calling "European" genetics superior to "immigrant" genetics?? I'm sorry my friend, but that's literally racism. 99% of the human population has almost identical phenotypes.
@@MUCM Good on you for spotting that right away.
They are my third favorite group but they often engage with my favorite, which is the EPP. In the end we will probably end out with an EU somewhere in between both our parties.
Hey it would be cool to specify in the script that the S&D group is in the centre-left of the political spectrum, lile you did on the GUE/NGL and EPP videos
Oops. I forgot. You are right.
Yes, please do the EU budgett, where the money comes from how much goes to friends - Ursula special case not investigated-
When is the election date?
Bezween 6-9 june
at 1:13 you have the wrong logo: that's the one of the USA Democratic Party, not the italian one
Please do ID!
How are you going to create jobs…so how will you create these quality of jobs ….all the politicians right and let all want to create jobs but nobody can tell us how are they going to create jobs
I need a program to input my views and see which party comes closest. There are definitely things I like about S&D, but also things that really turn me off. A lack of specificity is always a problem.
I also do not think they can keep all their promises. For example, they say they want migrant rights and procedures, but I see nothing about what happens when those migrants do not respect the rule of law? What happens when those migrants do not espouse feminists or gays? One seems to contradict the other with no mechanism for relief.
So two huge points of hesitancy in endorsing this group -- lack of details and lack of coherency. Where can I look to next?
The next video ;)
gezellig
Uhh If only there was a Greek Party for Renew Europe, I guess its the S&D Then. I am a supporter of the Epp too, but they seem a bit hesitant to change, and S&D goals sound really exciting too. I am Between EPP and S&D, my final choice would be cast upon the party with the most determination to change the EU for the better faster
You forgot to mention their stance in nuclear energy. They are against it, aren't they...?
Who are you voting for?
And yet another example of a political family, where the national party, representing them, disagrees with part of the policies (that I like) :(
When do we get same kind of video from green party?
Couple days
Reduce working time! Give me some of that please.
Keep up with your wonderful work. European Union can get strong and prosper only with integration of WB and eastern front (Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia). The less grey zones EU has, the less likely is the destabilization of Europe by Russia and China. There is also the URGENT need of abolishing VETO power that hopefully gets addressed after the elections this summer.
I've said it before and I'll say it again
The EU will either federalize or the continent will rot away.
Thus, anyone who is in favor of integration is welcome while those who cannot get over their failed nationalist worldview of the past is dooming our future.
United we stand
Divided we fall
what if they cant integrate why always lay blame at europeans and never look at the immigrants who cant behave
I dont want to be ruled over by the large countries.
We can work together on the things we agree on and still stay independent
Social democracy is the best
Comment for engagement.
They have my vote.
All talk
As much as i stand for this type of view i really think the EU's biggest priority right now is how to work together with the rising populist sentiment in the EU. What i mean with this is that there is no regard for conservative/populist ideas and are just ignored. While a massive portion of europe is socially conservative due to the insane amount of boomers (ik weet dat je nederlands kan, wat ik probeer te zeggen is dat europa vergrijst en dat hier niks aan wordt gedaan) And as much as i stand for social democratic and liberal ideas i do have to say that they are just not being implemented properly and that this is pissing off a massive part of europe.
How are they not being implemented properly?
renew europe next plzz and then the greens plssssss
How about democracy?
How about accountability.
ECR video when?
All i can promise: before the elections :)
I'm not sure if it is naivety or if they want a migrant underclass to do "jobs Europeans don't want to do" so the European gets a "quality job".
Soon there will be no european to begin with.
I guess it depends on how you define quality jobs.
What I believe they mean when they say quality is:
- higher saleries
- Lower working hours
- Better pensions
- More vacation days
If we do this, more people would want to do the less attractive jobs and we won't need to be dependent on immigrants.
Not that we all get to be CEO at multi-billion companies.
Likely the jobs that the Europeans don't wanna do will be done by other Europeans or mechanized where ever possible.
just slave labor from the third world
This is way more realistic then the far left.
And the far right will probably not doing any better either despite the growth.
Is the S&D corrupt?
I would love to vote for the Left but my country doesn't have a party in this group, so best I can do is S&D (social democrats with a tint of fascism) 🥴
"The dream of the golden age of a social democratic welfare state is over" - Slavoj Žižek
I dont like that they are a bit vague compared to the Renew europe guys. I wish the social democrats of EU were like social democrats in Denmark. Anit migrant and strong
Why anti migrant?
Staznost nepřijímám mám zavřete AK za rok čau 🚨👸🌏💔👮🚨💥
The S&D have a good pitch, but I really don't want to vote for my local national S&D party.
It do be like that. I hate Scholz with my heart. And Pasok is no better
I am not familiar with Scholzs' domestic politics, however, I don't respect him for denying Ukraine the Taurus missiles as an attempt to appease Putin.
Uhm, in all good will, their leader who comes in first seconds of this clip is very weak in my eyes, you don't win like that. He was reading every word, head down the whole time.
They seem the most sympathetic to me, but they do not have any candidates in Slovakia, so I am not sure how I will vote. Also, good riddance they dropped Smer and Hlas. They aren't social democratic in any sense.
Maybe vote to a similar party to their left or right? It's really unfortunate they do not have a Slovak counterpart!!
@@MUCM I get your sentiment, but there is no genuine choice in my opinion. I do not want to vote for Renew, and definitely not the EPP since they got cold feet over the Green Deal. Definitely going to vote for someone, just not sure how yet.
@@TomoNarrates That's really unfortunate then. Is there any party that isn't racist that would be in favour of the green deal in your country?
@@MUCM There is Progressive Slovakia, which is part of Renew, they are doing good work here, but I simply cannot on a principle level support them in Renew. There is also the up coming Volt Slovakia, but I am not sure how they will do in the volatile political scene here. I am rooting for them however.
@@TomoNarrates I mean you could vote for Progressive Slovakia and simply choose a more left-leaning candidate on the ballot
I mean, I like what I'm hearing but then I remember that social democrats have, broadly speaking, been in charge since forever and things aren't great.
Exactly 😂. The so called "social model" in Europe is the real responsible for the collapse of the continent.
Not really. Here in germany the conservatives have ruled the most. The epp has been in charge in the eu parliament gor a long time.
@@Dalex1910 You're quite right of course. It's not like conservatives have any answers either outside of more of the same. If they did, they wouldn't be conservatives. Same thing applies to social democrats, imo.
@@pablobomgiorno8273 what collapse exactly?
So we’re just going to ignore third way politics now eh?
7:52 I hope closing the gender pay gap will not happen at the expense of the lowering pay of another side.
As a male I already didn't get jobs in EU, because females were preferred, even I was a way stronger candidate. And I was told it by the females close to hiring people for those positions.
PSD, the socialists in Romania are a great shame, they are ordinary communists, the socialists are not an option in my opinion, I don't vote with them anyway and I am disappointed by the previous EU leadership. It moved again, but little and slowly.
Western mentality, not original ideas, utopistic goals if you have not the means to reach them. Pity
Can you do a video about the far right european parties please
In production :)
I see only chewing-gum topics that are easy to garner support for but nothing specific. If anything, all the major topics are glanced over or non-specific...never will I vote for former communists, especially in my country
When will we get to the good stuff and Liberals/Libertarians.
the libs have already been done,and their policy is just straight up russian espionage and internal sabotage.they just want to defund the army and take in as many immigrants as possible
I wish Left-Wing parties would stop: focusing on gender ideology + being soft on migration .
Everything else they do is more or less great.
They are not focusing on "gender ideology". That's probably what you focus on and you're projecting
Maybe they understand the benefits of migration and don’t just say “migrant is taking our jobs” or whatever the far right spew out
Reduce work hours means make poor EU. EU working hours already very short compare to other developed countries.. Social is really evil of freedom and rich..
Half the things they want to improve they will worsen with their approach and the other half they won't do anything about
What makes you think that?
Exactly. Unfortunately this is the case for all parties allowed to exist by the secret organization that governs all these countries.
Which halves and policies are you talking about? Their manifesto seems pretty possible if you ask me
And the most important, they will import immigrants of less good phenotype.
All good ideas but as long as the left keeps on pushing for hyper diversity while at the same time ignoring the risk of ISLAM i am never going to vote left. It just baffles me how they can ignore the facts on islams view on women, gays, jews, democracy, freedom of speech, secularism, minorities, christians, the list goes on. Rather vote conservative
I don't like Islam coz it's conservative.
I better vote conservative.
@@Dalex1910 I know that sounds crazy but if I vote for Christian Democrats and the liberals (not thr social liberals) the EU will become more federal as well although it might take a bit more time (I support a federal Europe). The end result is the same but without as much non western migration. Sounds better to me. I never vote for populist anti EU parties that are in the range of Le Pen Wilders and so on.
Besides, the Christian Democrats and Liberals are not that conservative either. I support gay marriage LGBT social security sustainability women empowerment, those things all get handled fine with the parties I vote for. With Islam, that is a whole other story. The way they treat women I find it embarrassing for Europe.
"By 2029, the S&D in the European Parliament seeks a transformative, more inclusive European Union. " NO THANKS AND GOODBYE.
We've seen this in Eastern Europe before. Way way too familiar for comfort and I wonder if another devastating crisis, costing close to a million lives, will take for the Western European countries to listen to us again...
The hell you talking about ?
@@Dalex1910 The policies, salary control, regulation overreach, etc. If you squint really hard, you can even draw parallels between the green strategy and the soviet policy to have some other states suffer immeasurably for the comfort of others. We had all that 30 years ago, it was stable, it worked, it was effective and it was hell on earth. Never again.
Denmark, Sweden, Iceland all have the social democratic model, but are very wealthy, and have higher economic growth that liberal countries such as the UK.
So it is not only one factor that determines economic growth I'm afraid.
@@tomorrowneverdies567 it's an endlessly disproved equivalency comparing Nordic economies with anywhere else in the world. Socialist parties advocate strict regulations and capital controls to achieve their goals, which is not the case with Nordic economies. Taxes are distributed across all citizens, not the "ultra wealthy" as they are lying here. If they are honest and tell everybody "we're gonna tax you 60-70%" you will see how that goes. There is also a significant cultural component. The Nordics have "The law of Jante", which I absolutely love, but try and tell a medetiranian European to live modestly and not boast, or a French they need to sacrifice their luxuries to accommodate the, let's say Romanians or Slovacs.
The silent parts in the video that "they don't specify how" is for you to fill in the blank with hopes and your own gullibility. They know exactly how. We've seen it in Eastern Europe and we keep telling you - tar and feather those snake oil salesmen for your own good.
One last final note - the party from my country - Bulgaria. They are not pro-EU, they are so deep under Russian influence, you wouldn't even believe it. They vote and advocate for policies like that to destroy the EU from within. Don't let those Trojan horses in boys and girls. The place with free cheese is called a trap.
@@nic4obgcome on man, are you german ? Everything I don't like is"green ideology" spooooooky. The soviet union was not environmentalist, had nothing to do with green policy and their social democracy was shit, cause their economy was shit.
Too much social, too much of a political take rather than a pragmatic and realistic one on energy and economy. A no for me
better than the "defund the army" r*tards
Long live epp
