    On 23 May, the final debate between the lead candidates for the presidency of the European Commission took place in Brussels. The Eurovision Debate will be broadcast on public service media channels and online platforms across Europe and distributed to news organizations globally by Eurovision News, and the European Parliament’s Europe by Satellite service. Link to youtube feed of debate. [1h45mins long] Didn't see it Aired on Irish Media or did I miss it?

    The six debate topics are:

    Economy and Jobs  
Defence and Security  
Climate and Environment  
Democracy and Leadership  
Migration and Borders  
Innovation and Technology 

    My main impression of it was that it sound like a 'LEFT' centric propaganda media post. Attacks on the Far Right as not been democratic. On my first viewing Sandro Gozi (Renew Europe Now) came across as likely choice for me. Remember your elected MEP's vote for the president and will probably have to give support to the Party/Group they are a part off!

    Note: - The far-right Identity and Democracy (ID) party and regionalist party European Free Alliance where excluded from it, and The European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group has not participated in any or this.

    Poll is NOT in order of The position of the candidates on stage. Poll is anonymous!

    Sorry didn't know signatures appeared above polls. Will delete mine if people object?

    Edit:- Ended up deleting mine until the EU Elections are over. Life time of this thread when a President of EU Parliament is elected.

    I am going to try an make a post, that I am not posting links to backup the content. If you need me to confirm the content, please PM me?

    Last thread I created was reported as a bit of a link fest.

    The EU elections are mostly over, except we are still counting, and our MEP's possibly missing out on important formation groups discussions.

    The EPP Group has been declared the winner with 189 MEP's.

    Ursula von der Leyen has tough prospects ahead to try and get reelected as president.

    • First she has to be nominated by leaders of the 27 EU Member states, and Charles Michel [European Council President] wants to ban her from the upcoming top job talks.
    • Then if nominated she needs deals with either the green's group or Giorgia Meloni both which can cause problems with her own party or the other supporting parties.

    On opening post, I said I liked Sandro Gozi (Renew Europe Now), but didn't know at the time if it was the same group FF are in. Also don't know if any of the other candidates in poll are even in the running now.

    The only break to not including links, is this below tweet on an upcoming timeline.
