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.
Almost three years after Britain voted to leave the EU, the Brexit process is so bogged down that its scheduled departure date has been put back seven months to Oct. 31, meaning it is obliged to take part in the election on Thursday. “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.”
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.
