The results of the recent European Union election revealed that economic problems, migration, and international conflicts were the top concerns for voters. Nationalist and euro-sceptic parties gained traction by focusing on these issues.
A survey by Focaldata showed that in the biggest member countries of the EU, improving the economy and reducing inflation were the most significant factors influencing voters’ decisions. International conflict and war came in second place, followed closely by immigration and asylum seekers.
Despite climate change being a concern for some voters, Europe’s Green parties did not see any growth in seats in the EU Parliament. In some countries such as Spain and Sweden, climate change was a significant concern, while in others like France, Italy, and Poland, economic worries and immigration were more important factors for voters.
German respondents ranked immigration and asylum seekers as their top concern, followed closely by international conflicts and economic issues. This shows that each country has its priorities when it comes to voting decisions.
