Governances - European Parliament elections. The election rules differ by country, within basic EU rights - sexual equality, one of several forms of agreed proportional representation - and are very largely, but not totally funded by each nation. As an example - voting in MEP elections in Greece is as national parliament elections - obligatory.
The Eu has concerns about the acceptable candidates for Greece and has under the guise of helping Greece keep Golden Dawn (now called as the first part of an electoral game - National Dawn) out of the MEP elections said that only parties with seats in the national parliament can provide MEP candidates. This gets rid of GD who although they have seats in the Voulis are no longer 'funded or legitimized by the State'. Thus no national election funding, no police protection (2 already murdered and 1 on lifesupport) and I am not against these steps but this means (Greece has 23 MEP's), none of the old LAOS (no Voulis seats now) MEPs can be candidates, nor the 3 independents. There are rumors the EU is interfering elsewhere too, notably in the old USSR domain and Slovenia.
I wonder if they will try this or similar in Germany to preclude AfD, or even UK to temper UKIP: France has FN deputés so it won't work there. Greece, happily has deflected this EU prod on governance
NB - there are 42 candidates currently - deadline is March 14th.
It's all about governance now and whether we can continue to tolerate abusive and socially harmful policies, despotically imposed to ensure centralized, monolithic statist control over Europe.
