An unhealthy obsession with blocking immigration into Europe has fueled right-wing conservative parties. This xenophobia ultimately culminates into stifling climate action. We are now more dependent on individual actions.

I actually voted radical left this time. Not because I'm a commie, but because they were the only party left that I could use as a "protest vote", which is what MOST of the far right's votes are. People (well, most of them) aren't clamoring for a ridiculously rigid right-wing society, they just feel completely ignored on the topic of immigration, and that ONE issue is going to be the death of the EU and all of us down the line. (the conflict about it, not the immigrants themselves).

Since we didn't even have a radical left running this time, I picked an ordinary social democrat. One whom I've met and talked to, and who seems a reasonable person... and is already a MEP. He will narrowly continue to be a MEP.

As for priorities - the transition to a sustainable economy is indeed on the back burner currently. I like to imagine that everyone knows it must happen and soon - but maybe I over-estimate people.

The local hot topics this time were economic crisis and war.
