Europe’s voters are no longer divided into left or right, pro- or anti-EU camps, a survey suggests, but into five tribes whose conflicting concerns are likely to dominate nearly 20 elections across the continent this year.
2024’s European parliament and national elections will likely be fought over attitudes to five major crises that have affected voters’ lives in recent years: the climate emergency, the 2015 migration crisis, global economic turmoil, the war in Ukraine and Covid.
Further, research showed last autumn that almost one-third of Europeans now vote for populist, far-right or far-left parties, with wide support for anti-establishment politics surging across the continent in an increasingly problematic challenge to the political mainstream.
We’re keen to hear from Europeans whether their political views have shifted in recent months or years, and if so, in what direction, and why.
Whether you’ve only changed your views on particular areas of policy or have seen your political stance change more generally, we’d like to hear from you.
