Opinion: The EU’s election results show the Continent is far from realizing its dreams of becoming a superpower

Two takeaways from Sunday’s European Union elections: First, the centrists—the moderate right and left—were decimated.

For the first time since 1979, Christian Democrats and Social Democrats, the reliably pro-European bloc, no longer hold the majority in the 751-member European Parliament. Second, the far right—the Europe bashers and nationalists—scored big, increasing their take to about 170 seats. In Britain, the Brexit Party trounced both Labour and the Tories. In France, Marine Le Pen’s National Rally outpolled President Emmanuel Macron’s party and its allies.

You know what they say about opinions!

It appears individualistic desires of the nations in the EU will be less subordinated to collective mandates originating from Brussels. The more each is responsible for their own actions, when well intended, the better off for all. ThereIsNoPlaceLikeHome

EU should not be a 'superpower' just a trade agreement, they should not be allowed to make laws that affects everyday life of its member state fixit

Putin had some gains...Thank God! They were not great. The Greens might just be the way to go. Watch out Rupert! He revived the far right, now Jewish people in Germany cant go out freely like they used to. Great job Rupert!

and this is why NOBODY believes anything from mass media anymore. Europeans don't want to be conquered by a 🇮🇱globalist totalitarian cabal and then flooded w mass migration to basically exterminate Europeans from their own continent. It's just what the WSJ (🇮🇱 mass media) wants

The right did worse than expected. 🤔🤔

The whole idea of a united Europe was flawed from the get go. With thousands of years of differences on every level in each country. Only the foolish thought it a grand idea to unite as one Europe. Cherish your nationality, ethnicity & culture.

Well stated.

Huawei Accuses U.S. of Bullying as It Seeks Support From EuropeHuawei denounced U.S. actions against the company as “bullying” and implored European governments to resist American pressure to follow suit in a bid to safeguard one of its most lucrative markets. Europe is scattered with US military bases, Bundestag is only a few blocks away from the US Embassy in Berlin, which has a surveillance site on its roof exposed during US spy scandal. So Europe doesn’t really have its liberty to do anything since it seeks security from US. You meant The US has never never turned off its HPS system on other country when such action served its purpose
