Don’t know who he is, but I can hear he’s Dutch. I’d vote for regardless.
Edit: His name is Reinier Lanschot and he is the former lead candidate of the Dutch chapter of Volt. Member of the European Parliament since 2024.
I really like Volt and everything they do in multiple countries. They look at problems and think of solutions. Many political parties have an underlying philosophy or religion and every stance they take is based on that. This often leads to parties that I sometimes align with on certain issues, to have a totally different opinion on other issues that I absolutely do not align with. Volt’s philosophy seems to be: Do whatever actually works and improves the situation. I find myself hardly ever disagreeing with them and if I do it’s more in the details than the general direction. They are also not afraid to stand behind stuff that’s really necessary and hurts in the short term, but in the end actually solves the problem.
They don’t get a lot of votes so far as they are pretty new and people are slow to switch. But I hope they get big in the future as they truly are in my opinion what we need to move forward.
Agree with this chaps ideas here. We are not advocating for European variant of MAGA though. We need to shift the balance of economic, technical and environmental power. The US is too happy to destroy the environment, economies and nations for an economic model that destroys everything to gain the extra buck
Exactly, we can be a digital power with European values!
if EU was Federal, we’d have a better platform to make all those dreams come true
