I don’t understand why these videos aren’t getting as much traction as usual? Maybe when the elections are closer they will. Love them tho!

[finlaysharpe]

Its so broken that you have to vote for national parties in EU elections. Nobody knows the names of the EU level parties let alone their policy stances. If we voted directly for EU parties people might be more engaged with EU politics

I understand your hesitance regarding making these videos with low viewership, but I hope you continue to make them regardless. By far the most helpful videos leading to the upcoming elections, and after all, aren’t the elections what it’s all about?

[woolgatheringjane]

Thank you SO MUCH for these overview videos!!!

[docopoper]

These videos are genuinely going to shape my voting in the next elections.

I prefer S & D to The Left, but I feel too much focus on social issues, not enough on economy and defense. They'd need to invest in nuclear to help climate goals or at least not shut down nuclear. Looking forward to Renew Europe. More aligned to S & D than EPP.

A first mistake they make is to use the word "socialism".
Although in predominantly southern nations such as Spain, Portugal and Greece this has a positive connotation, in northern countries it has a negative connotation. It is no coincidence that the Swiss Socialist Party is called that in French, but changes its name to "Social Democrat" in German.

I have a video suggestion. Could you make a video where you brakedown the EU budget? How it works, what EU spends money on and so on?

To bad these videos don't get enought views btw.

[smileysan]

It sounds like the left, but more realistic and less naive, so far the best I have seen, but I am still waiting for renew Europe to make my final decision

[krystofk.]

thank you for this video. I've been waiting for it since I'm planning on voting for their representative. Though, it's quite sad that this party has only one representative in my country :/ (I'm from Czechia btw)

Also. Most of people in Czechia don't even know that there are all European parties and thus vote for the respective parties in the Czech parliament. I think it might be all "eastern european" (east of the iron curtain) problem. People here are really uneducated about the EU. Which also projects on your views on these videos.

Anyway thank you for your hard work. It's the little things that make world a better place.

This sort of videos are very helpful. I love how you’ve divided it based on key issues. It really helps when deciding who to vote for, especially when the manifestos are very long to read in full

[joaquimbarbosa]

Having Scholz talking about defense was not their best decision. My guy refused for a long time to send Leopards and now refuses to send Taurus. Ironicly, not giving Taurus missiles just makes it easier for Ukraine to lose the equipment it already has, thus making the equipment Germany is offering less effective. I don't understand him

[JaegerDreadful]

Another great video man! I hope these video's get in the recommended feed for people around the election and you get well over a couple 100k views!

[nobody_expects_me]

Those overview videos are of public interest, I'm really gratefull to you for those.

[Magnus_Mundus]

I am really excited for your video about the european green parties in this election! ♥

[Real_MrDev]

Probably the group that I'll end up voting.
They are simply the closest to my idea without begin total naives.

[OHHnoYOUdidntMAN]

Even your audio mixing is 10/10, as always.

Given the line of thinkinbg in this channel, I would greatly encourage taking a look at Volt. The best way I can describe it's a green social-liberal federalist party, with EU integration being a key component of its rethoric. I find its stance to be more pro-European than most other political groups, more even than the S&D, Renew and Greens/EFA.

If you align yourself in these sort of political movements but wish for even more EU integration, please give them a look (not an ad btw if it seems I´m over the top with it, but I actually believe they have a cool political project that needs spreading around)

[wtf_]

Hi could you guys also make a video on Volt maybe? Because I think there will be also videos on the ECR, ID, RE and Greens later on.

Still enjoying, looking forward to more. Maybe not so many views, but important.
