1 - You may not care now, but you might in a couple of months.
2 – Recognize the influence of the European Parliament. Elected
to five years the European Parliament is a major player in the European Union’s
decision-making process. And it is the only institution whose powers have grown
continuously over the last thirty years. The European Parliament makes big
decisions: from how to develop the economy to ensure that the food we eat is
safe, from how to reduce youth unemployment to data protection. Your vote gives
you the voice to direct EU in the path you agree with.
3 – Abstention is never a very smart decision. In 2014
more than 57% of European voters opt for abstention, but in one of the most
important elections in EU history, it is a wrong choice. European Union is
based on a respect for fundamental rights and democratic principles and as
such, European Parliament deputies are the people directly elected by citizens,
so voters must have a say. One of
the most common criticisms of European citizens is related to the feeling of a
"democratic deficit" and while many of us consider democracy as a
given, it also seems to be under increasing danger. Democracy doesn’t work
without citizen participation and your vote defends democracy.
4 - It's easier than ever to be an educated
voter. In today's tech world, there is no excuse not to vote
because you don't know enough about the candidates. In fact, it will maybe be
harder to escape day-to-day political news than be aware. This easy access to
information allows voters to form a clear picture of the issues and positions of candidates
when voting.
5- You just
should! Don´t ignore your
right to vote. Speak up, make a choice and be sure to include your polling
place in your schedule this Sunday, 26th of May.
