370 million voters in the European Union are heading to the polls and the stakes are high for Europe here are three things to look out for in these elections one will the far ride really surge polls are predicting big gains for Europe’s far ride parties in the European Parliament they group together to form two clubs and between them they could gain as many as around 20% of all seats they’re also on track to win the elections in France Belgium the Netherlands Austria Poland and Italy but they’re deeply divided on key issues like support for Ukraine if they do manage to find more common ground between them that could give them more influence than ever here in Brussels two will the center ground hold for years the European Parliament has been able to pass laws because the pro-european parties at the center have agreed to work together back in the last election in 2019 the three biggest groups won around 59% of all seats between them that could slip closer to 55% this year in a sign that moderate parties are losing voters to the extremes three what happens the day after these elections should influence who becomes the next president of the European commission Ula V liion is currently tipped to secure a second term because a party is leading in the polls but she will need the support of an absolute majority of all new MEPS to secure that job that that will be difficult if her traditional allies turn their backs on her because she’s been cozing up to farride figures like Italy’s Georgia Melone EU leaders could also choose to nominate a completely new candidate as they did in 2019 that means that back room negotiations between EU leaders could still parachute an unlikely candidate to the top job in Brussels
