| | Preview of the 2004 European Parliament Elections |
| | The upcoming election for the European Parliament appears, in many respects, less like one European-wide election than 25 parallel elections in each member state. | | | Rather than identifying clearly discernible patterns running across the whole of the European Union, we find different trends emerging in different countries in the principal aspects of the elections: namely campaign issues, likely voter turn-out, the kinds of candidates whose names will appear on the slates and the eventual outcome. | | | While the actual outcomes of the election are bound to prove our findings wrong in one or another respect, they do indicate some interesting trends that in the end do not hinge on the predictions being exactly right for one country or the other. |
