The European Parliament elections are tomorrow* and there’s nobody to vote for. (technically e-voting and pre-voting started on monday, but I always vote on the „correct“ day)
The only mainstream party that doesn’t want war with Russia (or says it doesn’t) is EKRE. However, I don’t want to vote for them. Not only are they very conservative but recently their MEP Jaak Madison was accused of sexually harassing someone.
Another option is KOOS. They, too, are socially conservative but they are the only anti-NATO party. Not much point in voting for them though, polls show KOOS will get less than 2% of votes.
I probably shouldn’t vote at all. Not only is my vote worthless but we only have 7 seats in the European Parliament so it doesn’t matter anyway. I know that bourgeois elections are mostly pointless, it just sucks to see how little my opinion matters.
Sorry, this is mostly a vent post with some links to give y’all context (not very good sources), I just feel alone and nobody IRL understands.
Sounds like they’re “sensible” nationalists at least, then- the kinds who presumably can recognize that plunging Europe into WW3 with their much larger, nuclear-armed neighbor is a terrible idea for their nation, and has a good chance of making Estonian a language only spoken in hell.
It’s a measure of common sense that- for all that their politics are no doubt disgusting otherwise- is pleasantly refreshing, due to how rare it is and how low the bar has gotten across the west.
