europe's election process appears to be way better than what we have in the U.S., when you begin on the campaign trail 2 fucking years before the actual election day.. that means 2 years of having to whore yourself out to billionaires and corporations, promising favors once or if you win. i wish we could adopt this policy on elections, but that's just a pipedream.

in the U.S., the media milks the campaigns (looking at you, CNN). they talk about it 24/7 just for the sake of ratings and it's really annoying.

It is democracy! You asked for it then you got it! But jokes aside. This whole politics campaigns are more and more like contemporary circus to me. You vote for people and then what? They don't even need to keep their election promises.

1.
You could, as a superior western civilisation, stop raining bombs all over their heads, that would stop them from leaving their countries in the first place.
2.

What you call invasion, is actually people fleeing from the nato airforces and us drones, and obviously from brutal puppet regimes that the west supports and finances, so your car can have gas, your wife diamonds and your every day life full of tech gadgets
3.
Super provocative generalisation, you have added that for extra effect i believe.

2/10


ontopic: far right seems to be on a move in many western countries.
I believe that the worst is yet to come though.

Ordinary people moving freely between arbitrarily drawn lines on a map doesn't cause problems unless your prejudices allow it to.  It's not an invasion and they're not there to conquer or convert you.  They're just people.  Leave the closed-minded scapegoating for the history books, please.

1. Yes. If all the jobless criminals of the 3rd world are allowed to migrate to Western nations, it will  create problems for me. I don't want to live in a place which is unhygienic and having high crime rate. 

2. It is an invasion and they are here to convert the natives. Check what is happening in England.

3. Yes. They are just people. But those people will never obey the laws of my home country. So I have to keep them out.

Wow.  Okay...

I honestly can't tell if you're exaggerating a generalisation or if you genuinely do believe that most people from abroad fall into those categories.  Either way, most legitimate reports show that immigrants are a net contributor to the UK economy.  Some place the figure as high as £25 billion.  If you want to lessen that contribution to our economy based on your own prejudices about "unhygienic criminals" (seriously?) then go ahead and vote for some isolationist party, but I still maintain it's shortsighted.

In France, the Front National will be winning close to a dozen seats.

It's hard to admit, but it seems that true far-right parties are able to save european civilization from current way of self-destruction, which formed by idiotic demographic and migration policy. By true far-right parties I mean non-puppet, independent forces like jobbik or national front.
Said to say this.. but I fear that the Western Europe is already lost. More than 10% of the children born in England are Muslims. That figure is even higher in France. The proportion is doubling every decade or so. My suggestion is to forget about Western Europe and focus more on the Central and Eastern European nations, such as Czech Republic and Hungary.

You both have some very interpretative notions of what "self-destruction" actually means.  If you think isolationism and a fear of minorities is the way to go, then you're already well on your way towards it.  Follow the fearful "Dey Turk Er Jurbs" mentality if you really want, but the phrase "be careful what you wish for" never rang more true.  If you vote for totalitarianism, that's what you're going to get.  Any restrictions on liberty that are imposed on a minority at the moment will be used against the majority (i.e. you) soon enough.  It's incredibly shortsighted to believe otherwise.

As the world is swinging scarily towards the authoritarian right, I'll be voting for the opposite.  If you're in the UK and unsure which party matches your outlook of the world, there's a political quiz that should tell you with reasonable accuracy.  Sadly it doesn't seem to have options for other EU nations.

Greek neo-Nazi party allowed to participate in EU elections

http://rt.com/news/158368-party-nazi-elections-golden

Quote
Greece's Supreme Court has cleared the Golden Dawn neo-Nazi party to take part in the upcoming parliamentary elections, according to a party lawyer. The move came despite the criminal trial into the party’s activities. The lawyer said that the Greek judiciary body’s move wasn’t a surprise at all for the Golden Dawn. "We expected this decision. We have faith in Greek justice," lawyer Pavlos Sarakis told AFP.

Euro elections: Searching for President Nemo

http://rt.com/op-edge/155564-euro-elections-candidate-ridiculous

Quote
The European Parliament is at the most productive part of its four-year cycle. Instead of adding more stifling rules, politicians are out seeking re-election to the ridiculous Brussels/Strasbourg gravy train. Thus Europeans are spared the indignity of more useless micromanaging regulation destroying employment and the economy for at least two months every four years.

European Parliament will be held in all member states of the European Union (EU). It will be the 8th Europe-wide election to the European Parliament.

But considering how incredibly apathetic and uninformed the general public is - who knows. Most are busy watching disinfo channels presented as "news" and other than that bread & games TV shows.

The anti-banker parties might increase their representation. But I don't think that they will gather more than 5-10% of the total seats. Still, it will be some sort of a victory.

Well, another chance to get rid of the unelected Goldman Sachs sock puppets trying to lead the EU into the abyss and form a EuSSR...

But considering how incredibly apathetic and uninformed the general public is - who knows. Most are busy watching disinfo channels presented as "news" and other than that bread & games TV shows.
I don't have high hopes for getting that continent back on a healthy track but it's always worth a shot trying.

I expect that AfD (eurosceptic), NPD (far-right), Piratenpartei (pirate party, in Germany now much more left-wing than libertarian) will get seats for the first time.

AfD and PP might get seats. But the NPD got only 0.9% of the vote in 2004. They didn't participated in 2009. Die Republikaner might get one seat, as they got 1.3% of the votes last time.

Republikaner are in a constant decline since several elections and will most likely loose votes to AfD, so I think it is less likely they will get votes above 1% than the NPD, which is much more radical and therefore more likely to keep its core voters. But I wouldn't rule it out.

It will be interesting to see if the smallest parties as a whole improve their results because the threshold no longer exists and voters will be more likely to vote for their real preference than just strategically out of fear the vote might not count in the end (party does not get past the threshold).

In Germany there was a recent judgement of the constitutional court which eliminated the former treshhold for seats for European elections (first 5% then 3%). So in Germany any party which reaches approx. 1% of votes will get a seat. This will strengthen all small parties.

EU might get closer to USA at this point in election system.

There are no nationalist parties in the US Senate. Even in the house there is no nationalist representation. The US is having a two-party system, unlike the multi-party system of the EU.
