    I don’t think that’s true at all.

    When the UK was in the EU, UKIP was their largest party. For France, Le Pen’s National Front party was the largest. And they aren’t alone. There’s a number of right wing EU parties.

    And it’s due to get worse, if we bring data into it. Many countries in the EU are swinging to the right. Polling is indicating right wing parties will have a solid majority in the EU parliament this year.

      Well it’s true where I live. Those elections are seen as unimportant and not many care and even skip them with a tendency for more… intellectually, EU versed ppl to vote

      25% attendance in eu elections vs 45% for country parliament. Most recent elections improved 40 to 65

      As I said the moral of this story isn’t pretty

      I think those politicians don’t really bother going to the parliament and mostly cash the checks in, but it’s just a guess
