      American here but, from what I understand of Pan-European politics generally, it’s more of an attempt to unify everyone else and not necessarily to draw away far-right voters.

      They were in favour of UBI here, apart from that no afaik. They are also in favour of establishing a lobbyist registry for more transperency in national politics, which I quite liked.

    Voting for Europe‘s Volt party is like voting for the marketing department of your favorite company. They are not socialist by any means, and I don’t mean seize the means of productions style. I mean that they’re not even leftist, they are just pro-European because of the economy and profits for shareholders. Plus, the German branch is also Zionist. All in all not really an option.

    If you want pro-European and something that counters the Nazi movements in Europe, Mera25 is a much better choice.

      They’re not perfect, so we should allow the far-right to win to spite the non-perfection.

      Glad Australia isn’t part of NATO right now.

        Because having another party emerging that acts and talks exactly like all other centrist established party will surely fix it.

    Sadly they’re just a bunch of neolibs. Volt Germany is also turbo zionist.

      Germany is super zionist, full on flag waving genocide again. How Germany ended up on the wrong side of the same argument twice is incredible.

        Oh it’s simple. They seem to be thinking the question is: Jews? And not: Genocide? From that perspective they’ve learned, they just learned a good lesson but not the most important lesson

        Yeah I have no clue why I’m getting downvoted. They’re literally a neoliberal party. I mean, they say so themselves. And the fact that they’re ultra zionists isn’t a secret either.

    Yea… I’m not so sure that doing the exact opposite of what is causing voters to swing conservative is how you win them over.
