Nigel Farage’s EFDD group has been ranked higher than Europe’s main center-right bloc ahead of the European election next month, thanks to the high-scoring Five Star Movement.
An EU election campaign poster for Manfred Weber, lead candidate for the European Peoples Party to become the next EU Commission President EU citizens will go to the polls next month to vote for their representatives in the European Parliament, a vote that will also determine the next EU Commission President and their team of commissioners.
Only the European Conservatives and Reformists , the alliance between the British Conservatives and Eastern European far-right parties formed in 2009, scored lower than the EPP. The europarties, collections of national parties, have fielded lead candidates to succeed Jean-Claude Juncker as the next president of the European Commission. In theory, the candidate from the europarty that receives the most votes in next month’s election will become the next EU president. According to opinion polls, that is set to be Manfred Weber from the EPP.
“Only a few Western and Northern European EPP parliamentarians, particularly from Portugal, Finland, Belgium and the Netherlands acknowledge the need for more climate action," the report states."These parliamentarians will need to convince the true dinosaurs who are currently dragging the group down. At the bottom of the list, the Polish Civic Platform and the Italian Forza Italia score deplorable 3.8% and 10.7%, respectively.”The report also ranks individual national parties.
