Over 300 million voters across 27 European Union countries are participating in the election for the 720 members of the European Parliament. The outcome will significantly influence European policies on issues such as climate, migration, and international relations for the next five years. Incumbent President von der Leyen is facing challenges, and predictions suggest a rise in support for far-right parties, potentially leading to greater fragmentation. The Greens are expected to lose some seats, while The Left is likely to maintain its position. However, caution is advised in interpreting the predictions, as past polls have been unreliable. The Dutch elections, which defied expectations, serve as a reminder of these uncertainties.
