As someone who is in the process of immigrating to the EU (will be allowed to vote next cycle), can I get a layman’s summary of the parties and what they stand for? Thanks!
That’s not how it works.
Parties are at the national level, and form alliances/blocks at the international level in order to get things done. These blocks shift and there is no guarantee that one party will continue to vote with a particular block.
Pick a country. Generally, the political parties in that country will stand for local elections, national elections, and EU elections. At that point you can ask what their politics are. But EU wide parties aren’t a thing.
This may help: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/about-parliament/en/organisation-and-rules/organisation/political-groups
But it may also help if you’d say which country you will be immigrating to.
Afaik there is only one pan European party and that would be Volt.
I’d like to be able to vote for pan-european parties, but voting for Volt only works in very large constituencies (such as Germany). In most other places it likely reduces the chance of getting pro-european MEPs who might consider implementing such an option. What other strategies can help ?
