The election result in each country shows the balance of power between the parties and the direction of change, but it cannot be treated as a general election. Each country in the European Union is entitled to participate in European elections in proportion to its population size. It sends representatives to the Parliament. Therefore, the outcome in countries with larger populations, such as Germany, France, Italy and Poland, will determine the composition of the parliament. In Germany, the AfD (Alternative for Germany) won 15.9 per cent of the vote, beating the SPD. and became the second party after the Christian Democrats. While the Greens lost the most votes, the SPD also lost votes. In France, Le Pen's party reached 32 per cent of the vote. For years it has been the strongest party in the country. Its real strength was not reflected in the parliament thanks to the two-stage electoral system. Under the narrow district majority system, the party that wins more than half of the votes in the first round wins all the seats in that district. If no candidate reaches this percentage, a second round is held between the candidates of the parties with the highest number of votes. If one of the candidates is from Le Pen's party Everyone unites to support the other candidate, regardless of his/her views. Communists and socialists also vote for the other candidate, even if he is right-wing. This unity eliminates the candidate of the racist party. Since there is no run-off in the European Parliament elections, this party has no real power. showed. French President Macron Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
