  As an American, please vote. Our country is owned by the corporations, at least yours can bring them to heel sometimes.

  European elections have this advantage that the morons don’t even go to vote nor know what is going on.

  It’s the sole reason why is it going so good, obfuscation.

    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, 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.

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

    As left as you can. I’d recommend something less extreme if proto-fascists aka liberals had not lied to us for decades.

    Depends on you country, but the right wing one are usually not the ones that are so pro-regulation.

    Discard the Brownshirts, their collaborators, and the Putin fluffers, and you probably won’t have many choices left.
