The European Parliament has been a coalition of centre-left and centre-right delegates for decades. But elections in June could deliver more far right MEPs than ever before. Their success could influence EU policy on everything from immigration to agriculture and the energy transition. The FT speaks to politicians and voters across the continent to reveal the causes and potential impacts

Exit polls had begun to roll in at the end of European elections across the EU’s 27 countries, when President Emmanuel Macron delivered his bombshell moment in a televised address to a stunned French population.

“I’ve decided to hand you back the choice of our parliamentary future with a vote. I am therefore dissolving the National Assembly,” he declared.

The National Rally party - led by Mr Macron's rivals Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella - was one of the big gains that Europe’s far-right parties had expected, and confirmation came with all the exit polls giving the party more than 30%, double that of Mr Macron’s centrist Renaissance.

But beyond France, the broader story of Europe's four-day vote marathon really belonged to the parties of the centre right.

They tightened their grip on the European Parliament, with victories in Germany and Spain, and significant advances in Hungary, against long-dominant Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

The far right did not enjoy as great a surge across Europe as many had predicted.

In the Netherlands, Geert Wilders’ Freedom Party came second, while Austria’s party of the same name came out as winners, but only narrowly.

France recently went to the polls for the FIRST ROUND of the General Assembly elections, a critical event featuring key political figures like President Emmanuel Macron, Marine Le Pen, Jordan Bardella, and Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Macron's centrist platform faced significant challenges, while Le Pen continued her far-right push, aiming to solidify her influence. Bardella, a rising star in the National Rally, sought to attract younger voters, and Mélenchon galvanized the left-wing base. This video will explain the details and implications of these election outcomes.

Democracy for Sale | ENDEVR Documentary

Watch 'Who Rules America? ' here: https://youtu.be/swovERCu7n4

In America, lobby groups, corporations, and billionaires invest millions of dollars to ensure that the ‘right’ candidate wins elections. It affects everything from the selection of local officials to presidential elections and creates countless conflicts of interest, undermining what used to be a model democracy. And it has a serious impact on people’s daily lives. Drug prices are the highest in the world. Tax rates for the wealthy have fallen. Climate change is being denied. The impunity and extent of this are staggering. For many, this is nothing less than “legal corruption”.

Today, America “is just an oligarchy with unlimited political bribery”, said former president Jimmy Carter himself. Rules seem to have been designed to be bypassed; supposedly impartial judges are elected with the help of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars. We follow candidates on the field during the electoral process and hear from people whose lives have been directly affected.
