- Right-wing parties are surging across Europe, with notable figures like Meloni in Italy, Wilders in the Netherlands, and Orban in Hungary leading the charge. How will this rising tide of right-wing influence impact the European Union elections in just six months? This video will break it down for you. We'll talk about the different parties in the EU, and what the polls say about who might win. Our goal is to make it easy to understand how these changes could affect the future of the EU.

FUN FACT ABOUT THE EUROPEAN ELECTIONS :
It may be the only election in the world where voting takes place on all continents.
This is because all French overseas territories can vote in European elections, even those that are not part of the European Union.
In North America there is Saint Pierre and Miquelon.
In Central America there are the French Caribbean, in South America French Guiana, in Africa we have the Canary Islands, Malta, Mayotte and La Réunion; in Asia we have Cyprus and some Greek islands, In Oceania we have Wallis and Futuna, French Polynesia and New Caledonia.
The only doubt remains the French Antarctic territories, technically inhabited only by scientific personnel, if France allows them to vote in some way, then yes, the European elections would be the only ones in which voting takes place on ALL continents.
But... What about the French elections?

Dear EU Made Simple, I appreciate your numerous informative and engaging videos. Currently, I have a keen interest in politics, particularly in my home country, the Netherlands, and geopolitics at large. I am wondering if you could create a video prior to the upcoming European elections next year, elucidating the specific objectives of the European political factions. While some key points are available, there seems to be a lack of clarity for many regarding the stances of these parties across the peoples of Europe. I would be particularly interested in a simplified explanatory video outlining their positions. Many thanks.
100%. I will be doing loads of videos on this :). So stay tuned
It's interesting to see, in Romania there are a lot more people willing to vote in EU elections than in local, parliamentary or even presidential elections. National politics are being replaced by much more impactful EU politics.
Especially now on key issues as security , immigration and climate change.
That's because parliamentary and presidential elections don't mean much to the average citizen. 30+ years of democracy proved that election only choose who'll be in charge of screwing the citizenry for the next 4/5 years. In EU election they choose who'll rubber stamp policy screwing over all of Europe not just their co-nationals.
It’s probably because most national laws are now executives of EU guidelines, even the bad ones. Still that doesn’t change that the political situation of each member state when it concerns its relation with the EU is different and apologies, I don’t see why a Romanian has anything to dictate my country’s politics or that I, a Belgian, have anything to dictate yours. Romania is likely reaping more benefits of its EU membership than Belgium is, so I don’t hold it against Romanians that they are more positive towards the EU. But as it comes to my country, I feel that currently the thing that many of the EU guidelines do is to make bad policy decisions that would be rejected by its electorate mandatory through the EU guidelines. The EU is also staffed with a lot of Belgian politicians, that the Belgian electorate has rejected in the past: Kris Peeters, Guy Verhofstadt and Charles Michel (the current president of the EU council).
@@genmontgomeree9888 I won't deep dive into how much other countries benefit form EU, but I will give you a question for you to really think about.
Why do all people want to move to Belgium , even romanians and not in Romania the net-beneficiary?
The truth is even though Romania is net beneficially in terms of funds, it's has massive brain drain and workers no matter if they are skilled or not.
Main reason is economics, Romania simply can't compete in salaries because it loses a lot of people coupled with aging population, it's 5x harder.
So just the loss of people that go in other countries to raise that nation GDP is more then offsetting what Romania is getting back in EU funds .
And that's just about money, it's even worse if we are to talk about the social and cultural impact on the entire population , especially rural.
Still, EU is the best system we have to make it more fair and catch up with the west. Without it, the worker migration would happend either way without any cohesion funds..
@@genmontgomeree9888 Many Western Europeans may not fully grasp Eastern Europe's pro-EU stance. In countries like Romania, the historical weariness of Russian dominance plays a significant role. Embracing the EU offers a break from being viewed as a puppet state, contributing solely to Kremlin interests. While Romania benefits from EU membership, it's important to recognize that, like Belgium, the advantages extend beyond financial aid. Free trade and the unrestricted movement of goods contribute substantially to economic prosperity, transcending reliance on EU funds. So, sorry to say but Belgium benefits just as much as Romania and every other EU states.
@@celestindimitriu3675 Hungary and Poland and now slovenia weren't/aren't exactly that pro EU
3:48 A group in the European Parliament must have at least 35 seats. According to this poll The Left would not come seventh, but instead would be forced to disintegrate
Great
lets hope so!
It's 25 not 35 unfortunately
That would surely be terrible. Lets hope for it to not happen.
@@nocontentfound50 why is that? can't you see where left wing policies have brought Europe to? lefties are a disaster to Europe and an enemy of nation-states.
the year is slowly coming to an end, thank you for the videos you have produced this year, enjoy the christmas season ❤
Thank you! You too!
Christmas season? 😂 Christmas holidays!
A big problem is that we can't vote the parties in all Europe, every country has its parties... And may be you agree with a party without representation in your country... It's not fair
Well i get that you see it that way, but keep in mind that it's still important to vote on a party you are most aligned with. The more people that vote on a specific party the more impact it has in that european block. If it's 1 or 10 seats it doesn't matter. It will have more inpact. So please go vote if you can. Not that i might be aligned with your ideas, but the more people vote the better we can make policy that the people want. Even if your against the eu please let your voice be heard. we are a democracy overall and that is themost important thing.
Of course I'm going to vote, but what I mean is why I can vote only to the parties that are in my country, if for example I agree more with a French political party without representation in my country. We should have the right to vote any European party no matter its country.
Thats actually something that Volt Europa wants to change
@@wohlfahrt_pwhat are the countries where you can vote for Volt?
The EU is designed to circumvent democracy, not to be one. If you can't vote for the vast majority of the candidates, they don't represent you. It's divide and rule, and the EP isn't even a proper legaslative body while so much money is thrown at the members that they are for more EU minded than the people they claim to represent. Window dressing for a technocratic dictatorship serving corporate interests.
Whoever handles immigration/security problems will win.
Yes, this. The EU will within the next decade break apart, maybe even cease to exist, if they don't find a way to stop mass migration from outside. Voting for parties that still promote mass migration is suicidal at this point.
Not necessarily.
I don't believe that immigration or security is necessary the actual reason for the rise of these parties.
Instead it feels like people feel like decisions are increasingly being made at a more distant level then themselves.
They might *welcome* more refugees, but they want to make that decision themselves, not have it forced upon them by someone living in a different part of the continent from them.
Immigration is a threat to Sovereignty, naturally people vote conservatively or right.
@@Luredreier No, we don't welcome them and they're not refugees. We don't want anything forced on us AND we don't want this mass migration. The reality is people have voted for these parties specifically for this reason in their countries, but they are being hindered by EU.
The people have had enough, we don't want to turn into France, Belgium or Sweden, no thanks.
I wish, but boomers will ruin everything.
My first time voting im excited
who you voting for
@@SamuelIlizarov idk!
Its funny how my first legal vote in society is going to be on the EU level rathr than the National one
Same, that happened to me for the 2019 elections, I had turned 18 just a few months prior to that. I wish I'd been more informed and interested in the parties, videos like this one and the future ones would've been useful, they will be for the upcoming ones.
Same, see you in 6 months
Same for me
Be smart, vote for parties which will stop illegal mass migration and turning Europe into a conflict zone.
Same
Work, medical, safety and security. Not forcing any country to accept what the country doesn't want.
I have a question, how did Ursula von der Leyen get voted.
By the European council and then by the parliament.
Is there a test/quiz where I can input my views and it’ll output my closest aligned EU political group?
google it.
nice idea !
There is something like this in Germany. It's called "Wahlomat", which loosely translates to "Electomat" or "Election automat". It has been around for some years now.
If there is something popular then I wouldn't trust it to not avoid recommending the right wing parties.
Don't trust those, every time I do any of that they just say I am a left libertarian........ I am the opposite........
Wow those polls are incredibly depressing. Not surprising but depressing.
I hope I'll live long enough to see some sort of european federation.
Why not surprising though?
@@tomorrowneverdies567because right wing has been on the rise and while you would hope that something will change EU elections seem to reflect the same thing...
@@tomorrowneverdies567 Party's like Portugal's CHEGA, France's National Rally, Germany's AFD, Brother's of Italy, Swedish Democrats, the FINNS, Danish Democrats, The Dutch Party of Freedom, the Austrian Freedom Party, Swiss People's Party, Polish Law and Justice, Alliance for Union of Romanians, Bulgaria's Revival, all on the Right Wing or Far Right, all on a significant rise.
They are great polls but they could be better. 😏 If the left was like in Denmark they would rule in Europe but they prefer to go woke pro immigrants so.......hope for a centre right coalition without the S&D, they certainly have the numbers......
Would be far more interesting to have a country per country dive into the predictions, seeing what dynamics are are set in each country's politics and how it affects the EU elections.
Voting for a Maltese independent alligned with the ECR. The independents on this election's list have quadrupled.
Very kind phrasing of the EPP as pragmatic, they've taken some extreme stances this year including almost killing a biodiversity bill in the middle of a biodiversity crisis
Strange, I don't recall voting for Ursula...
The rise of nationalism worries me greatly. Every time it happened in Europe it did not end well. The EU is the most successful system we ever made to ensure peace in the continent. And the nationalists want to take that away from us.
Not really tho. Even nationalists realize the importance of the EU, expecially after the UK has left. The nationalists simply want to bring a more right wing, anti immigration approach in the EU.
Have you checked the News on what's happening to "EUROPEANS", living in America ? What's going on in America and not just Israel-HamasPalestine?
Nationalism is what created the european countries that we know and love. A nation for a common people
It's inevitable that it is on the rise when Balkan countries are treated like second class. Romania and Bulgaria not being in Schengen even though they did everything they needed to is a shambles
All of ECR is in favor of the EU, and about half ID are at least accepting membership.
Well it will actually be my first time in going to vote. So i want it to be special
Another aspect to note is that parties not always run separately and then add themselves to an EU group, sometimes several parties decide to make a national coalition for the EU elections and then align themselves with a specific group in order to gain more votes since the elections are made on a single nation-wide constituency.
This is more common in the Renew Europe group, which works more like a coalition of coalitions, made up of groups such as ALDE, EDP or CEUS
It's even more interesting, in Poland after last elections there are few big coalitions that are made from parties, that are in different EUP groups. For Example Third Way is made from PSL (EPP) and PL2050 (Renew Europe), The parties in the Left will be in S&D and The Left (yep same names ;) ) and probably even Civic Coalition could be in EPP and Greens (if any Greens will get a seat).
I doubt most voters know which block a party sits in in the EU parliament. Back when the UK was in the EU, people voted based on national politics or what our relationship with the EU should be, not EU policy.
After the war in Ukraine, and especially with the war in Israel, I expect a lot of people will vote based on immigration and energy policies rather than national politics.
Something that happend even on national level , like in Netherlands. EU politics are bleeding into national politics anyway.
Apologies but what you’re saying is wrong. This is part of national politics and people are voting based on what they experience in their country. It happens that the EU also takes up decision making roles on these issues, that still doesn’t change anything about the fact that it’ll be national and regional realities that will be influencing their choices. You can’t expect the Dutch or Germans to vote in a similar way as the French, who are energy self-sufficient. Same thing with that you can’t expect the Belgians to vote similar to the French, since Belgium’s energy supply largely comes from French state-owned energy companies that increased their prices in Belgium but not in France (probably due to French political pressure).
To be fair, the UK was always very distant when it comes to the EU compared to a lot of other EU members, that doesn't mean most Europeans voters understand what party sits in what block, but I suspect it's higher than what the British knew when we were in the EU.
Also, we should remember that EU and national politics are bleeding into one, it stands to reason, because both have a massive impact on our lives, so it's important for Europeans to take national and European elections serious if they want better results.
@@paul1979uk2000 I promise you that Belgians don't really know anything of most EU countries except for stereotypes or what they get from tv and that's not saying that much.
I’d rather vote on the Polish Platforma Obywatelska, than the Belgian Liberals that share the same EU fraction. You can demand that people from EU countries can vote on parties of other EU countries, but this would still make it an intangible mess. I don’t know anything of Baltic EPP members or Balkan EPP members. I don’t even know anything about EPP members of Roman language dominant countries. Still if I’d vote for one EPP member party, that still doesn’t change the fact they might still have opposing positions with their other EPP member parties. It’s a mess and further devolvement of power from member countries to the EU commission or Parliament won’t change any of that. Besides what would keep member states with large populations to gang up on the other members with smaller populations. Smaller countries will become even more satellites of their bigger neighbours and I don’t want to be a French satellite.
Still, by voting for PO, you vote for Weber's vision for Europe.
We will see how deep that influence goes. These blocks are already dominated by French and Germans anyway.
I agree that voting for candidates from other countries is very dangerous. Even in parliamentary elections you can only vote for representatives from your region.
Only cosmopolitan liberals and globalists who have zero attachment to national identity support that idea.
Which ones cares about trains the most?
Volt
The Greens, @aresivc1800 states Volt, which is part of the EFA.

Thank you for an unbiased, neutral video regarding politics in EU. Not pro-right or pro-left. I hope more of those videos in this format will come. I wish you and your family a blessed day and happy christmas!
plz pin this comment.
IF YOU ARE AN EU CITIZEN YOU CAN VOTE EVEN IF YOU ARE LIVING ABROAD
edit: many don't know that
I will in a future video pin and mention it in the video
I'd love a video of a going through for all the independent members of the council.
That doesn't seem relevant, with tem deciding in consensus and being little more than tools of their respective governments...
@@Thorum0 80 seats are way too many to ignore regardless if they are parts of specific parties. But beyond Hungary most of those individual politicians used to be in one party during election and ended up moving independently, meaning that they have a certain perspective regarding the current system that can be insightful. Also going through them it is easier to determine possible increases in which political side the council is going towards, since not all of them are right or left.
Great video, as always. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!

sadly the UK is no longer a member of the EU 😢 but i vote for the Green Party 🇪🇺
It’s awful that people are so skeptic of each other. Europeans should be brothers in the modern world, and the new champion for democracy and liberty.
Honestly surprised these guys haven't learned from us in the UK. This will go nowhere.
Nah fck the EU. Worst thing that could've ever happened
I don’t think people voting for far right care so much about euroscepticism as they do about migration
nice thanks for the info
Nope they don't represent my vote because I did not agreed to the green agenda and uncontrolled immigration and other restrictions. Therefore I'm shifting my vote from EPP to ID and I am not the only one who will vote for a more Eurosceptic parties. People are fed up and tired of the fact that the EU elites are totally detached from the reality and that they dont look at statistical average EU worker.
Thats democracy. The majority voted for that.
@@wohlfahrt_p no one voted for open border policies. no one!
"the green agenda" bro did you time travel from 2017? if you care abot workers you wouldnt vote for ID or EPP they dont give a shit about you.
love your channel
Thank you for watching
So EPP, S&D and RE will still have the majority. Not that much of a change
It will be a slimmer majority, which given some degree of rebellion in EP votes makes governing with their support alone that much more difficult. This will also mean that EPP may be tempted to form voting blocs with the far-right, or will be able to pressure the left into greater concessions due to alternative options, while the left will be even weaker. The shift will likely not be radical, but we should expect the EU to be passing (even?) more conservative legislation in the future.
@@viktator4205 Yes cause we should listen to the people. Cause we are a democracy. Btw i like your play on words with your youtube name. It made me laugh thank you for that!!!!
@@viktator4205 I'd like the EU to at least moderate on their green agenda
@@viktator4205 There is basically no meaning voting in the EU-parliament elections. The commission decides everything in practice... and the commission is not elected.
@@habbomanish Because the Commission is appointed by the Council, not by the EP, there is no government/opposition in the EP and the Commission does not enjoy an automatic majority support for its policies. Parliament also amends the Commission's proposals even if they accept them, which can substantially change the contents of policy.
Things can change a lot in six months, but for now my vote is with the EPP.
why?
@@habbomanish With Renew Europe (and whole the left, really) predicted to fall so much and the extreme right gaining so much, as of now, I choose to strengh the more moderate right.

In spain the eu elecctions could be a mayor political event, with in the country. The rigth wing is very mobilized right now, and they will probably try to portray the eu elections as a poll on just invested Pedro Sanchez.

As a Spanish citizen that is certainly becoming annoying, because while I am upset at the Spanish Sociodemocratic party right now, I also want to support the European Sociodemocrats

European Empire will be biggest mistake of XXI c.
Already dead empires like UK and France only lose its power to united Germany that wan to inslave europe again.
Would you please make a video on what impact the automotive industry has on the overall EU GDP and how this will change wether or not the EU car makers adapt to uprising rivals regarding EVs? As a German I was always aware on what impact the car industry has on my own countries GDP and on its foreign political power. Seing there are also other countries like Slovenia and Slovakia who benefit from that (e.g. in form of imployment and as net beneficiararys from EU budgets) as well as other EU nations are somehow dependend on car manufacturing (like Italy, France, Sweden or Czechia) the EUs slow adaption to EVs and the uprising of EU-foreign car manufacturers like Tesla and espeacially China concerns me. I have already heard that China got a head start regarding battery power. They also got an advantage regarding manufacturing costs (Chinas car in ustry gets heavily subsidizesed). And well Tesla is a thing for its own. So how much is the EU really dependend on its car manufacturing e.g. regarding imployment rate, GDP and foreign political power? How much power could the EU lose with a declining car manufacturing sector in the world? How are EU car manufacturers coping with the foreign rivals in the short and in the long term? What are the possible scenarios, likelyhoods and outcomes? Maybe they are actually doing good? And could even power shift within the EU with some countries (e.g Germany) are more dependent than others?
I'd like to see a video on how much damage Germany has done to the continent by opening it's borders to mass immigration of asylum seekers. An action which by the way broke EU law.
In ten months, I am voting for anyone except Trump.
Another great video, a fantastic concise summary!
Thank you :) happy you enjoyed it
It’s going to be either EPP or Renew Europe for me 🇪🇺💙💛
the most far left party that support Ukraine.
I will Vote!!
(Edit: TL;DR I'm arguing against a top down approach to running the EU, arguably a soft eurosceptic stance, despite believing in European cooperation)
Hum, this is sad.
I'm a green voter in my own country (not a EU member).
As a environmentalist supernational solutions to problems comes natural as most of the issues I care about transcend national borders.
Pollution and climate change impacts all of us regardless of the nation of origin of said pollution.
Likewise the refugees from the climate changes are also global and so is humanity and human rights.
That said, unlike my party I do not believe in a EU membership for my country at this time due to its overly federalized nature.
I do not believe that decisions should be made far away from the people they affect.
And that laws should for the most part be made as locally as possible but with as much cooperation as possible with ad many people as possible over as large a area as possible while *always* remaining a bottom up process where the final say is local.
That's why I advocate for a confederate model for the EU instead of a federal or unitary approach.
And I think that the attempts at a top down governance in the EU where people feel like their nations sovereignty and is being stepped on and like their local needs are being ignored is part of why we're seeing this shift to the right and towards nationalism.
I don't believe that people actually want to end human rights or social justice.
But they don't want to be stepped on by politicans that's far away either.
People who live too far away to know how living locally actually feels like.
People who often are from the more populated areas of Europe who have never talked to anyone local and wjo don't have any ideas about what challenges Europeans outside the the densely populated lowlands of Europe actually are facing.
The EU should be a arena that facilitate cooperation and coordination rather then a body that outright makes decisions that people locally can't opt out of.
Anything decided in Brussels should be opt-in for each local community and ideally loose enough that each local community can adapt it to local needs while still trying to achieve the spirit aimed for in Brussels.
It's a difficult balancing act.
Local politicians can't solve problems on their own, we *need* to cooperate EU wide to solve the problems of the Europe of tomorrow, but we can't achieve that by taking away peoples self determination at a local level.
(And with local I don't just mean a national level but all the way down)
With regards from Norway.
This is a concise and well-made little video. Thank you. The general trend right now, with the rise of Euroskeptic parties and Non-Inscrits indicates dissatisfaction with the EU, and by extension political establishments as a whole.
One small thing about the number of parlements, flanders has merged the two parlements (comunity and region) together
Unfortunately, there is no anti-copyright party or free internet party (whenever The Pirate Party grows large enough it stops standing for these things).
Try Volt.... almost as good on digital freedom as the pirates.
Well, this is depressing. I'd like to know more about voter demographics. I'm very interested in which income class / education level / country voted for what.
edit: age group also
The EU is depressing indeed, but with the speed everything is going now it will disappear in like 20 years, so enough reason for optimism!

@@EUMadeSimpleNo it's all good
I'm french and very attached at my national identity. But in France, we are also very attached to the idea of a stronger Europe. But we have the feeling that the EU, is undemocratic and doesn't care of the member states will. In France, we have very big issues with immigration and the EU wan'ts to keep high the immigration level. And ou president is a puppet of the EU commission. But we love europe at the same time and that's why we have a schizophrenic feeling about Europe. If Europe could have more respect for the identites and national's will, it would be better.
Yes, because France and Germany don't care, because western Europeans are anti-democratic calling everyone who disagrees with their dogmatic views undemocratic. France is probably the biggest reason of Europe turning into 3rd world shithole and losing national identity
You don't understand what you're doing, you are alienating half of Europe on your woke ideologies, from mass 3rd world influx to LGBT nonsense. You are alienating normal Europeans who did want closer relations, in favor of Africans and muslims who do not even provide the cheap labour you expected from them, all they do is increase crime rates and demonize Europeans for speaking out.
France has some of the highest violent crime rates, FIX yourselves before you moralize to us.
Not 100% sure, but probably Pirates
There's one thing I do not trust within the governments is left-wing to far-left, far left, right-wing to far right and far-right. Like who knows what they're gonna do in the future. I am not a liberal though but I'm beginning to develop into one. I'm not sure I can be a liberal, I like my personal freedom but not very sure.
Why do you think you can't be a liberal? I suggest looking into the policy of Renew Europe (the liberal party) to see if you agree with them.
Frist! ... It's funny (sad really) why can't we have one party with all the good stuff... All of these have some negatives attached... :)
Because its impossible to have only good stuff without side effects. Literally everything works like that.
can we vote online or? as a czech citizen living in the UK, i probs wont be in CZ to vote
Yeah, you just have to register a few months before the election I think, in the slovak elections you could register if you lived abroad. It's probably via the Czech government website?
Are online voting systems secure? Would such an election be valid?

if the center parties clamp down on immigration, i can see the right wing resurgence shrinking drastically
So far they are not though.
A big if. They centre right has had the Presidency of the Commission and of the Council,for quite some time and has presided over uncontrolled mass immigration. They would to make significant changes to avoid a surge in support to parties who oppose this. The term far right is inappropriate as those that carry that label and not always liberal in their economics.
They are not going to do that they just trow sand in your eyes, hope we cut out the S&D from the government and do a centre right coalition.
I won't be surprised if the right wins. People are sick of illegals, Arabs and Muslims
yes. that is because whole political paradigm have shifted right. policies that was called a far-right 5 years ago now is a political center. national populism have influenced centrist parties. that is even better than rising extreme right.
ECR Group for safe borders and safety in our countrys! 🙏🏻💯
Can't wait to vote, this election along with local elections in Ireland will be my first elections to vote in
scary how much the right/ far rights geht voted... We need to work together not against each other
When peeople feel disenfranchised they will vote for more extremist parties. Much like competition appearing on the market, a growibg extremist block will force the big parties to adress those problems more seriously.
"Work together" sounds funny when you think about it, for example:
Germany sabotage every project that can strength Polish economy or political status.
Yeah, lets work together and deport the criminals who came as either refugees or illegal immigrants. Lets work together and stop people to take untested vaccines (which their own manufacturers recently claimed they wouldn't take). Lets work together and sort out the situation in Ukraine all the way from CIA's involvement in Ukraine's coup from 2013. Lets work together for our countries and not for an agenda that only serves itself.
The left wing has made its position on all these issues very clear by giving a wrong answer to all of them. Now people are going to vote for something else.
@@pawe1816 Extremist doesn't mean right wing. Hitler and Stalin were extremists and little to not right wing parties that get voted are anywhere near these guys.
It's not that scary, at least not when it comes to real political matters that change thing.
I've been noticing a trend and not just in Europe, people that feel disenfranchised are voting more for the radical parties, in most cases as a warning message to the mainstream parties, but most of the voters voting for these parties don't actually want a lot of their policies, hence why we keep seeing in EU countries were when a far right party wins or is close to winning power, they tone their policies down a lot.
Basically, it's easy on the sideline to shout out any policy they want, but once in power, it's a different ball game because their neck is on the line, these far right parties also likely know that if they mess things up, they might not get elected again.
The simple truth is, these radical parties are only an issue if a majority of the population becomes radical, but if that were to happen, we've got far bigger problems than most realise, thankfully, we are nowhere near that stage, we've got a lot of people that are angry at mainstream parties and are willing to give others a chance to see if they can shake things up, but most of them are no real threat, because in most cases, the closer they get to power or into power, the more they moderate things, so much so that they look more like a mainstream party, we keep seeing the same thing happening in many EU countries.
Anyone who seriously is considering making an EU border patrol or border force with at least 10k people employed by the EU to guard the EU border. Stop spending money for anything else until we have a border patrol that can institute push backs and refuse asylum on the spot. Create that border force, give them money and tools, and I will be voting for them.
My first time I vote for the European Parliament and I'm considering either the European People's Party or Renew Europe depending on what they want.
Mine too! Exciting! For now I'm considering S&D and Renew Europe, will be doing more research ahead of the election!
I will also release more videos explaining the parties :) stay tuned
@@Quwertyn007 Hehe, nice! We're the future of Europe so we better vote for something that keeps us together and strong rather than the opposite :)
Good luck with the voting!
@@EUMadeSimple thank you, we'll definitely stay tuned :)
@@silvestervanmeijgaarden5350 Good luck to you too!
I support Renew Europe!
What's interesting for me in such materials is that placing identities on political graph could be changed depending on country or even personal preferences. For example for me personally I would move all parties one step right, but looking at political consensus in my country all parties should probably be moved one step left.
But nevertheless great video.
Bruh what's going on in the EU, all this sigma chad editers from tiktok are everywhere in mainland europe and voting for nazis 💀💀💀💀
Which country has elected a nazi party exactly?
Cry liberal

Volt Europa 💜
Voting for Renew Europe member Momentum from Hungary
Great video, as always. And talking about good content, I'd love to see you guys on Mastodon.
NOBODY voted for van der Leyen!
that's in fact not true
I always did vote in the EU elections when the UK was in the EU. I can tell you that is was never for UKIP/Brexit Party and certainly never BNP. 😉
We all need a strong center , center right and center left wing
Wasn't "The Left" also eurosceptic?
Some of them are, but since the EU shifted to more "socialist" and centralist ambitions with agenda 2030 they're happy to use the EU to promote their agenda as "human rights".
Not as much as the right wing parties who want to disolve the eu
heart of democracy in EU - good joke..
Australians are forced to vote against their own will or else face fines. What civilised country does that?
They don't actually have to make a valid vote, they just need to show up (or vote another way), but they can leave the ballot empty and thus effectively not vote, but while they're there they might as well vote for who they most align with. It cuts down on not voting out of laziness without making not voting out of protest impossible, so I think it's actually be a good thing for democracy.
That said, this video is about the EU‽
🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
Ah what a depressing reminder. We can't vote in these anymore...
It makes me so sad whenever I see a comment like yours in here. I hope you will be able to again one day.
Why am I watching this? I'm American 😂
Interesting video but I would not agree with a statement that EPP is for "national identity". They are the ones promoting EU's federalization...
I found that weird as well. I actually vote for them because of it.
"The world on the brink of another world war the U.S on the brink of leaving NATO"
Let's vote for the party who wants a less centralized europe...
It's almost like people are their own worst enemy or something... who knew?
This will be my first time voting, and I will vote for Renew Europe! ❤🇪🇺🇪🇸
🇪🇸🇪🇸🌹🌹👍
So you want immigration of african and asian people into your country to continue, slowly(?) replacing the native (more beautiful) population?
Renew Europe!
Noone, im too young to vote
It doesnt matter who you vote for... The EU Parliament has now power, just the EU Comission has.
Von der Leyen had 0,0 votes in the last election.. Great democracy.
This election is the first one I will be able too vote in.
Allready decided who you want to vote for?
@@definitlynotbenlente7671 I would like to vote for the ECR but they are not represented here by any party so I will probadly vote for the "Neos" who are the local representive for renew europe.
And Volt Europa! The Pan European party that is working for a green, progressive and federal Europe!
The ultra liberal trash party you mean?
Thanks for reminding me which parties not to vote for, with your buzz-words that clearly scream ‘socialists, communists and greens’.
While idea of a more federalized Europe might have some merit, we can see there is a meaningful shift to the right since people have been majorly disappointed by the green and progressive polices implemented in the last decade. I can honestly see a right-wing pro-EU federalist party popping up in the future.
I will vote for Volt 💜
@@Wislehorn I hope it happens, but I'm losing hope. That would be the ideal party for me.
Good summary, but its a shame you completely skipped the stance on migration when listing the parties.
I will create much more on this topic :) so migration will make a big appearance in the future
More right wing less migrants.... Pretty simple.
Left wing more migrants and woke bullshit.
i believe ECR will gain more than ID.
Французы и так уже воюют на стороне НАТО на Балканах, в Ливии и Афганистане, - решил тогда президент Николя Саркози. - А воевать за НАТО, не будучи его полноценным членом, не согласовывая с ним должным образом военные планы, это не очень хорошая идея.
Так вот не состоялся французский "побег из натовского курятника"... Но может быть все еще впереди? А, дорогие читатели, как считаете?
A little more right in the EU parlement is not a bad thing. If it can prevent the EU Commission to have even more power, then I'm in. I vote for MEP, not for the Commission guys.
I will tell you honestly, I consider myself to be in the center left, but for me the priority lies more in more cooperation and hopefully even the federlisation of the EU. What annoys me isn't as much that the right has so many more seats (although I do dislike the more extreme parts of the right). It's that most of them are eurosceptics and anti EU...
i want the parlaiment to have legislative power, not the commission
"Demoratic", LOL. How can I vote myself out of this dystopia?
Trust me, you don't want to leave. Life in the UK has been depressing since we left.
go renew europe !!!!!!!!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
What kind of problem(s) would this party solve? Would it solve the demographic problems of Europe for example?
@@tomorrowneverdies567 oh no, black ppl and muslims are coming from their wartorn natiosn, maybe we should like help them out with job opportunites or state work and affordable housing and integrate them into our cultural systems. But ofc ppl like you only see the colour black on a person or a hijab and disregard the rest of their value to society. Mkaayy
@@tomorrowneverdies567 are you really trying to have a politic debate on youtube comments ? 🤣🤣🤣
@@Elliasp-xx7mb Yes.
@@tomorrowneverdies567 ok, let's start : my opinion is never shared by others. But in one hand we have a demographic problem, and on the other hand we have a lot of young people who wants to work in the EU, so, the problem would be simple : president Macron tried to pass the idea that migrants could be tested in areas where young people is needed (for agriculture for exemples), but nobody took it seriously because, you know, all this poor people are not white enough, so... I think we have the solution here, it's a win-win, but racism inside EU is too strong to be part of this idea.
only a united europe will bring benefits for all, go renew europe!
But what kind of problem(s) would a united Europe solve?
@@tomorrowneverdies567 get a life
We will be united. That doesn't change the fact that we can still fail. Time for a change.
Hell no ! Vote id for european supremacy 🔥🔥
As a UK citizen, nobody now! 😁😁😁😁😄😄😄😌😌😐😐😔😔😔😔😣😣😣😖😖😖😭😭
This is about a whole Brexit. People don't know what's good until they vote against their own interests. Europe is stronger together. People need to realize we are all humans. Cultural differences are irrelevant when it comes to the passage of time.
I support Aontu but don't agree with them on the EU, Fine Gael are in the EPP who I do like but can't stand Fine Gael. Agh what a headache.
I know how you feel haha
Nothing more than electing a talking shop.
Someone please tell me, because I dont understand. Why does the right want less EU. I am myself a right wing enjoyer, but dont understand this. If all the right wingers would be pro EU they would have much larger impact in the whole Europe. I dont mean capitalist, but right wing. You know what I mean😉.And Europe would be more strong together with their good policies.
Why the thumbnail with the person that you CAN'T vote for?
More and more Europeans want to shift to less migration and focus more on our economy and prosperity instead of saving the world with environmental and human rights-focused policies.
Imagine saying that human rights and environmentalism are bad. Nope, less minorities is apparently what people want.
Yeah one problem that a lot of people start bringing up is the fact that most countries in the EU do not support migration for moral reasons but for rather economical reasons. The right constantly ignores that, meanwhile the left is unable to be upfront about it because their agenda usually is morals over profit.
The reality is that most countries in the EU do not have enough of the younger workforce to support the pensions that are the standard in the EU and young migrants willing to work for cheap, is a great way of short-term solution for that problem by further maintaining and pushing higher education on your national young workforce which will, presumably, create innovations that will elevate the country's economy.
The environmental issue is another thing that the right twists badly. One of the main reasons why people from developed economies are migrating to Europe is our environmental stance, leading to educated and culturally easy-going migrants and a solution for the increased amount of immigrants of different backgrounds that require accumulation (a very long and costly process). Also whenever in the past we had to deal with an environmental issue up to the point of it being an emergency the cost was far higher than the one we pay for preventing it.
The right overall has a very short term mindset and for the most part gaslights us at downplaying the severity of the issues Europe is facing, utilising the frustration of Europeans that are ignorant towards the worldwide recession and the only change they see is more foreign faces around them, connecting the problem to that instead of the far more complex global recession.
This is so insane to me. The selfish nature of people. We are noticing first hand the first effects of climate change, insanely hot summers and droughts, catastrophic Floods, mass Species extinction, etc. And yet people want to cripple this planet even further. If we continue like this our great grandchildren won't have earth to live on anymore. They will become the refugees fleeing to what ever is left. And I wonder how wholeheartedly they will be welcomed once they're there.
@@DIO45032 it is not less minorities in general but less minorities of less beautiful peoples in particular I believe.
@@derdude6214 The thing that these ancient monkeys in the comment section can't understand, is that not funding africa and developing countries will inevitably lead to more people coming here, also removing environmental policies will only make more people migrate here from africa and elsewhere, sometimes I do wonder if we need an IQ requirement for elections.
I'll vote for whoever actually solves the biggest threat to the unity of the EU: Mass migration from outside. This issue will break the whole European project apart if it is not finally and properly dealt with. The EU will cease to exist if we do not get it right ASAP.
So the EPP
soo build up their countries so they dont feel the need to flee anymore? meaning the left?
NO!!!! NOT OUR PROBLEM !!! THEY HAVE TO BUILD THEMSELVES !@@Gigachad-mc5qz
EPP it is.
