DUBLIN: The delay to Britain's departure from the European Union has only confused voters who already have little enthusiasm for European Parliament elections, according to Socialist lead candidate Frans Timmermans.

"Are these EU lawmakers going to stay long?" he mused in an interview with Reuters in the back of his black Mercedes on the campaign trail in Dublin on May 10."It is discomfort and confusion rather than anything else." Frans Timmermans of the Party of European Socialists dances during a visit in Ireland as part of his campaign rally ahead of the May 23-26 elections for EU lawmakers, in Bray, Ireland May 10, 2019. Turnout for European Parliament elections is traditionally low. The 751 seats will be filled through national votes in 28 member states, where individual parties campaign largely on local issues.
