@tymoty @Veza85UE
the attempt to create union-wide force was also @Pirati political movement, but outside our country we remained mostly marginal.
Today, more fair representation of population would ironically probably benefit far-right parties, because they are still marginal on government level. The joke is, that they have to coordinate union-wide to express their skepticism about international cooperation on EU scale, which is... funny 
@xChaos @tymoty @Pirati Yes, but most have little interest in actually governing, with sone exceptions like in Orbán's satrapy. To me, what corrodes the EU is continuing stagnation with the EPP (and an S&D that seems completely in Stockholm Syndrome mode after 20 years of playing second fiddle to them). Because they're all about being in power forever and at any cost.
@xChaos @tymoty Those exist too, no doubt, and more relevant for abstentionists. But that's a very generous view of voters who choose openly anti-democratic forces, who don't care if they burn the country down as long as they get to shit on minorities as a result or make money from clientelism. Some of their voters are poor, but quite a few are not (especially the religious fundie types). Sociopathy+grift are often ignored when looking at "primitive populist parties" and it's a mistake, imo.
