In June 2024, hundreds of millions of Europeans will go to the polls to elect a new European Parliament. A new polling and seat projections suggest that the EU’s right-wing, far-right and nationalist parties could be on course to gain ground.

On ECR you forgot to mention that, other than Italy, Romania will also be a new source of MEPs for the group. Close to a third of those new 23 seats would come from Romania's new right-wing populist AUR party, who are currently polling at around 20% (second largest party in the country) and as such would win 7-8 seats in the European parliament.
The Socialist-Liberal-Christian Democrat grouping colours reminded me of a national flag!

Nu o sa se duca nimeni la europarlamentare sa voteze cu Haur, majoritatea votantilor sunt asa zisi daci liberi si nationalisti de 2 bani cu 10 clase si pentru ei Europa si UE sunt ceva toxic, asa ca daca va fi sa voteze pentru parlamentul european daca vor vota 1%, la alegerile din România aici e problema ca s-ar putea sa-mi fac bagajele si sa plec din tara😂😂😂😂
Historically, pro-European parties tend to do better than Euroskeptics during these elections because their voters have a better turnout than others during European elections. Polling has also been historically bad at predicting European Elections results. While a shift to the right seems likely, I doubt it will be anything major.
I think it will be important: the current parties know perfectly it has to do with immigration, either they limit it or someone else will.
Also Meloni isn't against the EU, only against the current establishment of the EU.
@@Doge811cope harder. Immigration will continue until they outvote the rest. Its over
Yep, if you're an anti eu and anti democratic citizen voting for far right parties, then you aren't exactly enthusiastic around democratic elections, especially for the EU
@@jikman681but this sounds more like coping
@wile123456 anti eu and anti democratic aren't mutually exclusive. Maybe in your black and white little mind but the EU to alot of people is an extra judicial big buisness lobby that is subversive to self governance that many countries citizens have bled for.
Can you guys make a video about the groupings? Like which political parties are in which group and what their current standing is on different discussion point at the moment. I know you did it a few years ago, but would be nice to have a more recent video.

You don't "win" or "lose" a European Parliament election. It's not a binary first-past-the-post system with a winner who gets everything and a loser who gets nothing. As you point out, the most powerful faction is currently a coalition between the centre-left and the centre-right.
Sure, but in a PR system you could regard gaining or losing seats as winning or losing. Expanding influence or diminishing. Its just semantics.
They’re Brits, it’s weird for them ;)
@@vladutzuli But they frame it as winning or losing _the election._ Not winning or losing some proportion of political influence, which is what actually happens. If this election was about forming a government, we could say that "winning" means becoming part of the governing coalition and "losing" means ending up in the opposition. But that doesn't apply here either. There is no straightforward win condition.
@@Ticklestein European try not to smell their own farts challenge = impossible
I mean for the right, any kind of significant gain in seats forcing eurocrats to cooperate with them is a win, right?
While polling shows approval of the Grand Coalition decreasing, the S&D, Renew, and EPP are still projected to win about 400 seats. This is a shift rightwards for the EU parliament, but won't disrupt the status quo.
And if the centre right allies with the right?........
@@Doge811 they aren’t centre right, they are liberals. They are called that because this channel, for

@@Doge811if you mean ecr, nothing bad will happen because they are also pro eu. The problem is ID, and neither epp nor ecr would ally with them.
@@ldubt4494 those parties get the votes from national parties and are formed by people in national parties, for example the leader of ID is from the Italian lega which is no more anti EU, they were in the past, even Meloni was depicted as anti EU and a problem for nato and the west...... All while she was saying she doesn't want to leave neither, she want a stronger EU and she want to abolish veto power, she want a stronger nato, even she said some things basically in favor of an European army.....
I think a lot is exaggerated as always, who wants to leave the EU? Only change the establishment to be on the right and not the left.
@@Doge811 Meloni has been portrayed as 'far right', but her economic policies are left wing. Windfall tax on banks. Price controls on air fares. Banning 5G.
Not exactly pro-business. She's really a socialist with nationalist tendencies.
great video, I love how you do videos on what matters and nto what gets the ost views. "just like youve say"
Don't neglect the momentum of the French far-right party (RN). Arrived second at the last presidential election, and with a very good vote intention for the next EU election
Also came second at the previous présidentiel election, and did well in past european elections. They probably won't _gain_ many seats since they already have a lot
Good
@@akaviri5 yep but that time in 2022, another far right party has emerged (Reconquete) and made 7% of nowhere
@@maxime5257 7% is terrible with billionaire and media backing. Macron came out of nowhere and won in 2017.
@@gijane2cantwaittoseeyou203 not that bad for far-right ideas. MLP did 21,30% in the first round of 2017 and did an even better performance in the 1st round of 2022 (23,15%). Reconquete did 7% without affecting at all the performance of MLP meaning that far-right ideas gained 7+1,8=8,8% more voters than 2017. That is tremendous given the poltical climate and major medias in the country(e.g. Le Monde, France TV/Info etc.) being anti far-right

I know most of Ireland's MEPs will be either soft centre left or soft centre right.
A few will be hard left.
Ireland usually does things with concensus of like minded groups in the European Parliament.
Actually due to sinn feins rise and them being in the far left block its most likely we'll see and obliteration of the greens and increase in the left while the centre and right probably lose a seat or two.
Unfortunately the so-called "Left" in Europe is becoming increasingly authoritarian. Basically Pro-Putin, pro-China, pro-imperialist, anti-defense spending...it's depressing to see as a leftist who cares about human rights 😓

All the idealism in the comment section but what really matters is less obesity, laziness, more kids and higher living standards.
Europe is aging and if people keep having low birthrates well see a majority old zombie population who can't wipe their own ass.
That's where we are heading right now.
The thing is, they're trying to balance an aging population with migrants. That is the worst possible thing.
The EU needs to:
- develop a lebensborn-like program
- defederalise individual nations and turn them into states
- force a standard tax onto everyone in every country in the EU (really high, like Finnish or Icelandic rates)
- fund natively Europeans who have a relatively high European genetic heritage to have children, even better if they have more children. Give them extra benefits or tax cuts.
- Completely block "asylum seekers"
- Eject already-in immigrants on first crime.
- Use their militaries actively as a labour force rather than a war machine force
The EU needs to take more inspiration from the Nordic countries, the Soviets, and the Nazis.
we're so back
Yes.
yesss
Considering nobody can actually get a majority at European elections, is it actually possible to “win” in reality? Or just in terms of media optics.
No, it's called click bait...
To be clear, the european right should always be written with quotes ('right") as their actual policies are centrist at the very best.

Very true.
Very educational video and great (thoughtful) comments below.
National factors can not be understated, especially in populous member state.
At 06:30 you show European Council, but you speak of The Council of the European Union. These are two different institutions - the European Council is made up of the heads of the member states, while the The Council of the EU, usually shortened to the "Council", sometimes the "Council of Ministers", consists of the ministers from the member states that have the discussed issue within their portfolio. Yeah, I know, EU naming is not always the best.
In this case the spoken info is correct - The Council of the European Union is the one approving the laws.
The European Council is not the same as The Council of the European Union, but around 6:30 you make that suggestion.
Doesn't quite sound like a seismic political shift. However, a lot can happen between now and your elections.
Oh god please no!

Can you make a video about parliamentary elections in Poland and how it may affect the future of the European Union?
They just did.
Poland is a democracy and has a good Gouverment. Unfortunetly the EU wants the corrupt and anti Polish Opposition.
I see no problem between right or left, problem is when Eurosceptic parties get a seat in EU, the organisation they seek to leave, like German's AFD. Meloni's party on the other hand is pro-EU so them appeasing their voters doesn't mean destruction of the Union itself
I think Euroscepticism should be more highlighted than left/right, especially given the left also has anti-EU agenda (my country, Portugal, has far left that is anti-EU and anti-euro)
I think this is relevant because will probably see more anti-migration laws with a right migration, while an Eurosceptic rise would mean sabotaging EU and giving up on Ukraine
And also some of the AfD are literal facists so idk why people even consider giving them a vote.
I don't think calling anyone and anything right of parties that want grade school kids to be in direct contact with child rapists "facists" is helping anyone.
On the other hand strict migration laws would help decrease crime and violence in Europe and a more nationalist approach towards education is in my opinion needed instead of the gender fluidity stuff Canada and other nations are doing
Also euroscepticism shouldn't be taken with so much hate a country should be able to stand on its 2 feet eu or otherwise I personally don't want and eu federation to rule all of Europe

Well the European Elections will also be important here in Romania as often the party that wins more votes tends to have a highter chance at winning the local elections. And the next year we will have elections for the president, parliament and the local councils in the same year for the first time in 20 years.
And so far its unclear who has the upperhand due to the fact that many romanians are losing interest in voting.
It's generally PSD against AUR and that actually extremist party I can't remember. The American puppets and original PNL (the part that split from PNL after the coalition) have also made a "democratic" coalition with the Popular movement to try and fight both PSD and AUR.
My prediction is that the "Democrats" will take away votes from PSD that will cause them to lose against AUR, which might decide to ally with PNL since PNL is the weakest party RN and it will be easy to jerk them around.
I imagine that *_GOLD_* will win because the incumbent won't, And they will win because everyone is attacking them and not focusing on A.U.R. We're also tired of old faces and we don't want D.C. puppets like "+" either.
I for one will vote *_GOLD_* I want to see what they do and I'm tired of everyone else lying.
Gold will win. Everyone else is either an old face or really unpopular.
Short answer: yes
Right on der. Right you are. Righty oh. Awright. Dead right. Bloody right. Turn right. Everyone's right.
One thing I've learned about politics is how it always swings from left to right of politics every decade or so, I don't find it that big of a deal, people give one side a chance, they don't like the results and give the others a chance, and the merry go around continues with politics rarely listening to the people until it's election time or there's a big uproar against them.
As for the far left and right, another thing I've been noticing is how many of them have become more moderate to appeal to more voters, we are seeing that in Italy, if they become more moderate, they are far less of an issue, and it stands to reason, far left and far right parties only appeal to a subgroup of people, moderate parties appeal to a wider audience, so the far left and right parties, if they ever want any credible chance of gaining power have to become more moderate, and even in the off chance they gain power by not moderating, their views will either get them kicked out or they mess things up so much that when they do get the boot, it's unlikely they will gain power again.
Just look at the current government in Italy, how they've had to tone things down on the EU, the Euro and many other things, and the reason being is that most of us want stability and growth, they don't want things being turned upside down, basically, it's far easier to say wild things when not in power on the sidelines, it's a lot harder to keep saying them if close to winning power or in power, the reason being is because their neck is on the line, if they mess up because of the policies they promised the people, the people will turn on them even thought the people actually wanted those policies.
Politics is a tricky game, which is why lying seems to win over the people a lot more than the truth does, but reality always wins out in the end, the UK is finding that out the hard way with Brexit, the US could have paid a high price if Trump was more popular and managed to push the changes he wanted, basically a power grab, but in the end, people are playing with fire when voting for these kinds of things, history has shown how bad it can go for us and why moderate parties is the way to go.
In the UK that a hasn’t been the case as even Blair’s labour was not exactly left. So it’s been right for pretty much my whole life (36yrs). Look what it’s done…
Yes tell that to the leftist that always scare people: fascists, far right, end of democracy ecc 🙄🙄🙄
@@tariqjoseph3562 So right that the PM is Indian. From your extreme left point of view everything must look right wing
The fascists controlling Italy right now are not moderate at all. They might sometimes appear moderate but any research of them reveals their true selves. The simple fact that Melonni has frequently praised Mussolini should have been an obvious massive red flag right from the beginning. The reason why she is pro-EU is because modern day fascists have realized that a EU controlled by them would be the best power play. And luckily for them, most people have apparently forgotten what happened when fascists last time got in power even though it has been less than 100 years since WW2. A fascist controlled EU would be a danger to us all
@@marwin4348Indian is far right no matter what you stand in politics. Under Blair the Labour Party was no longer on the Left but have became a Centrist Party.
I would add that the two right-wing political groups in the European Parliament (ECR and "radical" ID) have only the cultural conservatism in common. Indeed, in the economic issues, the former is much more liberal than the latter. Moreover, in foreign policy, ID, unlike ECR, is anti-American, hardly Eurosceptic and pro-Russian.
That is very fair .. the so-called far right is completely misunderstood by most .. there are radical differences between say Vox in Spain and the Finns Party in Finland on economics ..
La Pen was a "small government low taxes" and now is essentially Big Government high taxes ..
@@dendradwar9464 exactly: while Vox is in favor of radically liberal economic and financial policies (with only moderate opposition to multinationals), the Finns Party embraces strong statism (especially as regards the social welfare). Indeed, the Finns Party is one of the very few political movements in Europe that can be considered «left-wing authoritarian».
Jean-Marie Le Pen was vaguely pro-free market in economic matters; daughter Marine (who led the RN from 2011 to 2021) was decidedly interventionist. It is no coincidence that the party is so strongly rooted in the deindustrialized regions of France. The RN, at least since 2012, is the most working-class political movement in the country.
@@_michele17_I disagree on your last sentence. The most working class oriented political party is LFI, not RN. I still remember how RN just abandoned workers and even condemned them when they go on strike to the street, it's the total opposite of LFI who stand hand in hand with workers and took to the streets to protest.
@@rakhaaliefaditya4877 no: the RN is more worker than LFI. The first, unlike the second, strongly supports the reduction of immigration and law and order. The workers suffer from wage competition from immigrants. Furthermore, many of them are a danger to public safety.
Finally, the RN's opposition to strikes is related to its tough attitude towards street riots.
P.S: do you really consider a party led by Mélenchon to be "worker"? Mélenchon, the one who, after the first round of last year's presidential elections, told his voters to choose the neoliberal Macron in the final runoff?
@@_michele17_ I don't believe that immigration reduce wages, although I believe immigration shouldn't be too high so that our welfare system can keep up with them. The riots you're talking about is a part of the strike, if Macron doesn't want to listen to the worker's demand with the peaceful strike, then might as well destroy some private properties to get his attention since he's so protective when it comes to his corporate buddies. If the RN is truly pro workers than it should've fully support it like LFI did.
4:15 who was the genius that wrote green with red color?
The jointlist for GroenLinks and PvdA in the Netherlands doesn't benefit S&D. At the moment, they're polling at 7 seats. Half of those will join S&D, the other half will join Greens/EFA. That means that the European PvdA faction will lose 3 or 4 seats compared to their current amount. While GroenLinks in Europe will stay stable or even win a seat potentionally, depending on if a GroenLinks member of the list gets a priority seat or not.

On a bright side, a competitive European elections with a real threat of far right could finally get more people to pay attention to them in the first place and consider them to be important. European elections are infamous for having voter turnout below or just about 50%. That also has implications for the far right who are actually focusing on EP elections this time around, it still seems to me to be a mistake to focus your EP elections on people who fundamentally hate the European project and don't turn out to vote for European elections anyway. Looking especially at you, AfD. Dissatisfied voters in former East Germany aren't going to turn out in droves for an election they don't understand or care about.
How are Greens not a part of the central coalition with EPP, S&D and EPP?
how many times do we have to teach you a lesson old man
Hopefully the time will come when the elected members vote to dissolve the wretched EU. It has become an oppressive and intrusive bureaucracy which is impoverishing most of those who live in it through its incompetence, and is too sclerotic to adapt.
That's the end goal yeah. It's inevitable. Whether it happens now or next election is what we will see. If the corrupt bureaucracy rigs the elections then prepare for massive backlash put down by their globalist ilk followed by subversive political movements that will play the moderate game before they win and dissolve the union.

Some of the comments illustrates the biggest problem with modern politics: a notion of "us" against "them". Right-wingers claims that the left wants Europeans to feel ashamed of their country/culture while left-wingers claims that the right want to end all international cooperation out of nostalgia for imperialism. It may be true for a few extremists but most of the population doesn't think like that. If we are to ever build a better future, then we need to put aside that kind of antagonistic mentality and open our minds to the opinion of other's.
The population likes what makes them prosperous and not struggle with basic needs. If neo-imperialism does it, neo-imperialism it is.
Anyway those former colonies didn't become any better with their pathetic attemp of doing anything decent for themselves so perhaps it's time we step in again and make things better for everybody, us and them, keeping them living better in their own country.
I am not a fan of opening my mind to crazy left policies like Green Deal to destroy european economies, from industry to services (as those are inherently tied to industry making stuff) or importing millions of african "doctors and engineers" that end up with 50% unemployment even 8years later resulting in even heavier load on already failing welfare systems of europe.
Going with left opinions is going with struggle to meet basic human needs

The sad fact is it won't matter either way.
Isn't it strange that I have to vote for parties from my own nation, who are actually part of a bigger party that I can't vote for directly. And I can't vote for someone that isn't from my nation, even if that is the person I most support and trust. It is no wonder that European elections have much lower turnout than national elections, because they did everything they could to make it as abstract as possible.
You vote for a party you already know in your country. Most people don't know what are these big parties so they would be lost and probably don't vote
You vote for a representative of your own country, not a European party.
Can you vote for a person in another electoral district within your national parliament? Answer: NO. So, what is the problem then?
Not All countries have electoral districts. So yes, I can vote for every national politician who makes it onto the ballot@@neventomicic330
This is pretty much the only convincing reason I can think of for Brexit. It is basically impossible to vote for your preferred outcome at the EU level, especially for British people.
Not saying Brexit is good or bad, but the abstract nature of EU elections and difficulty in gaining representation within a highly influential organisation which can dictate laws in your home nation is a compelling reason for it either way.
Europe needs to vote right for his own survival
You never see "will the left win?"
I wish there were more parties that left wing in ecnomic & housing issues, but anything from conservative to moderate on culture war & immigration issues.
Esp that rejected Forced Entry & Settlement (unfettered immigration) in any practical terms, and saw EU as for all CURRENT europeans, rather than an entitlement to entry.
Meloni isn't that different in reality, she isn't so on the right in economics, she is taxing banks for unjust profits that they did lately and want to use that to help people, she is even open to discuss how to raise and tutelate salaries, the left just have an ideological position: they did nothing for decades (quite the opposite) and now they are strangely interested....
So you want a party that helps you getting a nice living standard, but implements racist policies to block "others" from enjoying such living standards?

No the exact opposite: in Australia my country, it is conservative & "right wing" people who today are standing up to conserve Equality that so called leftists want to take away based on an agenda of seeking racist power as displayed and described by ao called "left wing" people like Thoman Mayo.
Basically that ownership of a country should be based on race & grievence that long dead people did & suffered, that's the fundamental beleif.

I am a Socialist & Egalitarian, and that means flourishing & equality of all within a country, encouraging it outside the country.
Thar includes practcial policy measured by outcomes, over doing things that make one feel good about oneself.
California is a perfect example of the latter in action.
Same with the polciy of unfetterred and unlimited illegal immigration without consent: that is not a realistic or ethcially principled solution, it is just based on feelings.
@@mmarques2736
Its not racist if a legal citizen African Italian is treated the same.
And whatever the case about that, in politics you have to choose who has the better practical policy, not the perfect one which is not on an election ballot.
Play stupid games get stupid prizes
Considering it unlikely that Scotland will get a second independence referendum for at least another decade and the inevitable rise of the far right in the EU when they finally do get one I don't think re-joining the EU will be as big a vote winner for the YES campaign as it is now .
Spooky far right! Be scared of the farmers and the Christians that want our countries to thrive and for our culture to be ours and not alien! 😱😱😱
As always, very balanced journalism! Thank you!
Regarding my country, Spain 🇪🇸, I’m sure that the party of the prime minister, Pedro Sánchez (PSOE - social-democratic) and the party that won the last general elections (Partido Popular - Christian-democratic party) will win the next European Parliament elections 🇪🇺🗳️. But the other two parties, Vox (right) and Sumar (left), can also have a good result.
I don't understand how Europeans people vote for the leftist ( a group of traitors people) corrupt the family and Christians people and import immigration
Don't be so sure. I voted for Sánchez in the general elections, but that won't necessarily be the case in the European elections where my criteria are different, as the European parliament has different responsibilities and inertias. In the European Parliament I am most worried about innovation-destroying industry regulations, particular of technologies the MPs barely understand.
Vote Sumar all the way.
I think Socialist Party will be punished, because Sánchez is looking for pacts with nationalist (referendum, debt forgiveness, amnesty) that are going to destabilize the rest of the country. Socialist voters didn't want that, they wanted social advances.
Maybe there is a narrow chance to reverse idiotic combustion cars ban and abolition of "fit for 55" directive.
The loss of EPP is just because of the exit of Fidesz. The EPP and PS are well.
Short answer. Yes!

Isn’t this actually really bad in that sense that it’s a direct anti democratic move to just simply reject these people. Guess including anyone makes some more includable than others..

What a bureaucracy, come on Europe you were better than this.
I'm going to europe soon... Spooky
God I fucking hope so
Yes.
would I be stupid for saying people are getting fed up with the left?
When was the last time you saw the left at the commands of CEE, let alone the EU? The EU treaties, since Mastricht, are by definition designed to suit the status quo of the post-Thatcher economic-liberal right wing agenda, and if you see who have been the presidents of the Commission since the early days of the 90's till today, you'll only see right wing politicians.
Yes very
The ruling parties aren’t even left. Educate yourself before speaking.
People just can't wait to elect fascists.
Only a very small group on the far left would want to elect such revolutionary social ists.
Everybody right of stalin is a literal nazi.
Do you think there is any possibility the ECR and ID might merge or be joined by Fidesz, whom I think might currently be non inscrits or are their differences too entrenched? I know these figures are only possible projections, but such a merger would make them the largest political grouping based on this projection.
If such a thing happened it might make them the largest single europarty but as the video notes, the centre left, liberals and centre right have a combined majority as a sort of loose anti-eurosceptic coalition, so such a merger wouldn't mean all that much
I don't know about ID but there's no chance of joining ECR, because of Orban's attitude towards Russia. ECR strongly supports Ukraine and they likely won't acccept any pro-Russian parties.
Besides which ECR and ID are fundamentally different, the former is more 'soft' Eurosceptics, and the latter tends to consist of parties that actually want to leave the EU (hard Eurosceptics)
Very doubtful, most ECR member parties don't like most ID member parties. Also, collation between ERC and EPP is unlikely as well - since the most prominent ECR member besides Brothers of Italy is Polish PiS (which is also a chair of the ECR Party), PiS strongly dislikes most of the EPP - including its domestic rival Civic Coalition - major member of the EPP
ECR and ID are not going to merge and Orban’s Fidesz will not join ECR.
Dump the EU!

I reckon Ireland is going to buck this rightward trend in some ways, and the Left is going to get a boost, not major but a boost, because most people in Ireland are done with the two traditional centre-right parties, and want a fresh start, which only really leaves the Left-Wing Sinn Fein
It’s super ironic that the historic Irish nationalist party has become the foremost anti-nationalist party.

Ireland has 5 million people.... What a difference is if 1 million of those shift from the right to the left?

@@Doge811 anti nationalist shift….. is bad
@@thevictoryoverhimself7298 I think less nationalism is a good thing
@@thastayapongsak4422 Less nationalism is good if, instead of nations, you would have smaller independent units. See: Catalonia, etc. If you want the EU in place of nations, then its bad. Government governs best when its closer to the people, not further away. If Cornwall or Catalonia were independent, then their local governments would surely care more about the people there than the current national governments do.
Problem is The EU Parliament has no power to alter things. Commissars have that. Mistake intended.
But they do basically decide on the make-up of the commission
@@Luca-wi1xh Which is mostly pre-determined already. It is also antidemocratic to grant both legislative and executive power to the EC without any form of checks and balances. This is why the Politburo/Supreme Soviet jokes persist, because the relation between these institution is one of subordination, rather than collaboration and one checking the other. Then again, at the way the EU is, I would not trust the EP to do any form of checks and balances either. Power needs to be transferred back to the states.
@@Luca-wi1xh I believe the heads of states do chose the highest ranking ones. That’s why it’s always a German, Franco or Italian. They exchange those higher positions for political favor
@@rnanni1048 Both are correct. Commissioners are appointed by Eu council composed of head of states, but the parliament accepts the appointees. Furthermore, the parliament has the power to dissolve the commission at any time. The EU parliament has a lot of supervisory power and softpower influence on the direction of policy-making within the EU generally.
What about Poland?

6:38 hearing a Brit say that is kind of funny, the process itself is not that dissimilar from the ping ponging legislation between the House of Commons and House of Lords in the UK. Council, much like the House of Lords, doesn't propose legislation in the EU but it still participates in the legislative process. Instead, the Commission proposes the laws, EU parliament either adopts or doesn't the first reading of the law, if they do the law is then sent to the Council who can send it back if they don't like it, very much like the relationship between the HoC and HoL in the UK. In fact, the EU has very many similarities to the British system. For all the Brexiteer complaints about EU's supposed "lack of democratic legitimacy", neither the EU nor the UK elects their leaders directly. Brits elect their members of parliament who then elect the PM, Europeans elect their MEPs who then elect the Commission.

Here in Finland Right-wing parties have now more power with Kokoomus and PeruS than what left-ring parties was when Sdp was a leader left-right party with Sanna Marin. Then Finland was much problems but honestly I liked more SDP and Sanna Marin than what I like Kokoomus Petteri Orpo's the right-wing leader party. But now we're lives interesting times because next year 2024 here is President camppanja and over 6 president candidates have been in like Hjallis Harkimo, Olli Rehn, Pekka Haavisto, Jutta Urpiainen, Saara Huhtasaari and much more. I will vote some female for Finland's president. Im now 20 years old and I can vote first time ever in president camppanja. This yeari've voted first time in election of parlament and that was really interesting for me. 🌍🏛🇪🇺🇫🇮
President dont have any power
For me it does not matter if it is male or female which I vote. The most competent person should get the job to serve the people. Sauli has been good despite me having negative expectations. Tarja was too friendly with Putin, getting his cats etc.
I haven't made my mind who I will vote yet, but I know for certain that I will not vote for Harkimo, Rhen, Haavisto or Urpilainen. I would never buy a used car from any of them, let alone trust them into position of president. If any of them gets elected, they have to prove me wrong like Sauli. I also did not vote for Sauli on either of his elections.

A British host explaining the democratic processes of the eu. Seems God has a sense of humour after all.
Democratic? The parliament is subsidiary to the true legislative body of the EU, which is appointed. The parliament cannot block any law except in the case of absolute majority. Where is the democracy?
@@0w784g where is the democracy in the Lords which are not elected. Where is the democracy in first part the post system that allows for a group with minority support to rule over the majority. So unlike proportional representation where everyone is represented. So if you British don't cast stones before you have an actual democracy yourself. In either case it shows your lack of understanding of both the explenation in the video and the EU. But that is expected from Brexit supporters.
