Who is voting in 2024The European Parliament: is the far right an existential threat?Europeans will be heading to the polls once again, as they do every five years, from June 6th to 9th. With more than 400 million people eligible to vote, the elections to the European Parliament are the second largest democratic elections in the world after India’s. This year, just like with every European Parliament election in recent memory, there is much anticipation about the rise of extreme right and populist parties.
