      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. Anything outside of the country is too much too grasp for the rightists.

      There’s some kind of deep moral to this and I am not sure it is a good one

        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.

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