    Just look at statistics and Women Voters. It really is astaunding how many females are actually voting for LIBERAL Pro Immigration Parties all over western Europe. I can tell you now that IF Women were dissallowed to VOTE the next European Election , the Right Wing Populist parties would have the ABSOLUTE Majority in Strasburg Parliament. Not joking. Women Sufferage is the biggest mistake ever done by the Western Powers. It marked the End of European Hegemony World Wide. Politics and Women just dont mix…with some small exeptions ( Margaret Thatcher or Katie Hopkins)

    This debate is very scary. No one of these people have been voted. No comments are allowed…….everybody knows, that the EU president is not voted by public, but by inner circles. This seems like a European song contest. A clear NO to that kind of show! But it´s an interesting discussion. Jean Claude Juncker: "We kkreate jobs….äh!"

    Ska Keller does not seem willing to answer anything. How did she become a front-runner in the European parliamentary election? Maybe some of the other politicians are making partially dishonest promises, but at least they are making a strong stand!

    Germany must dominate europe again – there are no other possibilities if the europeans do politics without germany this goes wrong – always wrong! Only if germany dominates in europe then are all europeans united – yes I agree united against germany but this is the only possibility to make all europeans united!

    Billions of Euros unaccounted for, referendums ignored or denied, media being bought by Brussels, national politicians being threatened by Brussels, etc etc etc. These debates are a farce. Wake up people, your freedom is being slowly eroded by the minority making fortunes from the suffering of the majority.

    Hold on a bloody second! This is all a bit pointless. The public don't elect the EU commission president, The member states appoint someone to the position.
     
    Why can't the public directly elect an EU commission president?

    None of the 4 mentioned the reason for economic migrants is because of the impacts of globalisation of which the EU is at the core.  The human cost of our cheap goods in the EU is poverty elsewhere and lack of education leading to overpopulation.  Is the real solution to asylum (including economic asylum) not to change the human and environmental standards of the goods we allow into the EU such that people have enough money in the refugee countries to pay for education and healthcare as a basic right?
    Although Keller brought some of these issues up later in the foreign policy area. Not to happy with Juncker's "soft power" argument and using more aid all the time.

    A Paradox how when they mix up eurosceptism with extremism and redicule eurosceptics they are actually showing how totalitarian their views are.

    So who to vote for? Oh wait, I don't get to vote. Welcome to the feudal state of Europe

Catalans react with surprise but determination

Published

on



http://www.euronews.com/ Catalans have reacted with surprise but determination to the result of their regional election.

The governing pro-independence CIU party lost 12 seats, while the vote for many smaller pro-independence parties increased.

For some, it is a reflection of the anger felt at the CIU’s austerity policies. But voters seem agreed on one thing, the push for independence from Spain.

“I expected a better result for the CIU,” said one man. “But even with their losses, adding up their votes and those for the ERC, the result is a large majority for the separatists. I think both parties should get together and push through the independence project and create an independent state.”

“It is not really the result we were expecting but it is clear that some of the pro-independence parties have grown a lot.” said another. “Now they must give the people what they want. All the nationalist parties, whether moderates, from the right or the left, all of them must now muck in to build a new state.”

Our correspondent in Barcelona says the CIU’s plans for sovereignty for Catalonia, shaped by Artur Mas, have not been mandated by popular support. The party has fewer seats and needs the support of other political groups to push through its plan to organise a referendum on independence for the region.
