The European elections would be held in May 2019, within two months of Brexit day. However, the 2019 election is going to be something different as never before the elections has been stamped for being so crucial by many European leaders.

Although, it might be the great electoral contest in Europe; however, habitually it leaves many voters impassive. Since the first voting took place in 1979, volume in European parliament elections has been slowly reducing.

During his outstanding run for the French presidency, Emmanuel Macron presented himself as the leader of the anti-populist, pro-EU forces. His opposition was anxious to join the battle.

Matteo Salvini, Italy’s deputy prime minister and leader of the anti-EU League party announced that the elections would be a poll between the Europe which belongs to the elites, of banks, of immigration, of finance, and dicey work against the Europe of people and labor.

Nationalist prime minister of Hungary stated that the election would offer a chance to bid goodbye to radical democracy as well as to 1968 elite. It is being assumed that parties like Salvini’s League, Alternative für Deutschland in Germany and Marine Le Pen’s National Rally might do well.

A study showed that the National Rally, also known as the National Front got ahead of Macron by gathering 21% support.

The centre-right European People’s party has been dwindling, a result of bad performances in several nations (including France), but also divided over ways to manage its Hungarian member, as the nation goes backwards on democratic freedoms.

Also, the centre-left Socialists and Democrats party is anticipated to lose seats, as its member parties go on to do badly across most of Europe.

The collapse of the grand alliance will make the next European parliament bit complicated, with rising horse-trading and, likely; as many as four parties might need to pass a law.

European elections not only conclude the structure of the parliament, one of the EU’s two “co-lawmakers” along with the powerful EU council of ministers. The results can also aid in deciding the division of the top jobs of the EU. In 2019, the presidencies of the European commission and European council will both be available for those who are interested for the posts.

European elections are basically a slew of national elections that tries to test the temperature of domestic politics. Janis Emmanouilidis, director of studies at the European Policy Centre stated that most people try to use the European elections to show a yellow or red card to the government.

He thinks the winnings for anti-EU parties would put pressures at the national level signifying that the EU’s divided 27 governments are not probably to concede on the frantic issues of eurozone amendment or migration.

The future of both euro as well as migration is probably going to become the focal point during the campaign. Some hinted that molding the elections as a blunt choice between the EU and anti-EU might be problematic. It holds the risks inciting myths about what the EU does.
